Sore tooth

TheCatWoman

I've got to go to the dentist again tomorrow, I'm facing a dilema, I think it might need a root canal filling and those are over £600, even a normal filling is around £250, its cheaper to have a tooth removed at £190, but I'm starting to run out of teeth!

The dentist herself is really good and the whole practice is very ASC friendly, but the cost!!! It's not like there's anywhere cheaper either, they all charge the same, should this be another case for government investigation? There's no NHS dentists left on the island now, so it's not like we have a choice, it's just so wrong.

    Here are a couple of dental practices on Anglesey that, according to their websites, do offer NHS treatment.

    Perhaps now might be a good time to register with one (ie before you find yourself needing more expensive and urgent treatment)?

    Amlwch Dental Practice - offers NHS treatments (including root canal, which costs £60 according to their NHS fees list).

    As  already mentioned [edited to acknowledge this, which I missed originally - sorry!], there's also the online tool for registering interest in receiving routine NHS dental treatment, with patients then contacted when an appointment becomes available:
