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.

  • I see that you've since posted that you've avoided the root canal - phew!

    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).

    I got delisted by Amlwch Dental Practice because they couldn't cope with my allergies. I will try the other one,but I'm not going to hold my breath as they seem to change thier minds about who they will take very quickly. Also having found a dentist who I actually trust, even though she's expensive, I'm a bit reluctant to move. One of the things I've found is that a lot of practices say they do NHS work, but limit what they do and will only do some things privately.

    Thanks so much for looking for me, I just get rubbish when I try and do this kind of search.
