Like you, my husband has dentures. His dental checks are every two years.
He pays the same as me for his check, but because he only goes every two years it works out at round about ten quid a year....that is good value for money.
Spotting the signs of mouth cancer surely must be worth this small outlay.
I do not LIKE going to the dentist, but it is a necessary evil....and I now see that it is better to get treatment than trying do it yourself dentistry....the filing down of broken teeth is not to be recommended.(this is what I used to do before conquering my fear of the dentist).
