I've just had my last NHS appointment with a practice thats going private - apparently the main reason being that patients will no longer need to register, and they reckon this is going to cause mayhem at the surgery

I can take out their payment plan at £10 per month, but that only covers check ups polishes and a couple of Xrays. If I need any treatment I get a reduction of 20%.

I don't normally pay for my dental treatment due to my circumstances, and have a bridge that is likely to cause problems, so heaven knows what that might cost. It cost £35 to have it cleaned (sandblasted- which has to be done before they fix it) on the NHS even though they replaced it free

Thing is if you go on this plan any children you have under 18 get their treatment free, so i feel like I am being a bad parent if I don't go on this plan and they are left without a dentist.
