    Still heavily subsidised, it’s not like we are paying “full price”.

    NHS dental charges

    There are 3 NHS charge bands: Band 1: £25.80

    Covers an examination, diagnosis and advice. If necessary, it also includes X-rays, a scale and polish (if clinically needed), and planning for further treatment.

    Band 2: £70.70

    Covers all treatment included in Band 1, plus additional treatment, such as fillings, root canal treatment and removing teeth (extractions).

    Band 3: £306.80

    Covers all treatment included in Bands 1 and 2, plus more complex procedures, such as crowns, dentures and bridges.

      Yeah myself and several people I know haven’t been in more years than I’d like to say. When their estimates are more than $15k you decide to wait a bit longer.
