I had dental treatment on the NHS and it was £20 or so charged as a flat fee (so irrespective of what the actual problem was/what needed doing), definitely not £70? If it’s gone up that much since then, that’s absolutely crazy.
EDIT: nvm, just looked it up, you get charged one of 3 ‘bands’ (lowest is £26.80 which is what I was charged, and the highest is £319.10). I never knew it was so pricey, as I ended up having to go private after moving anyway, since nobody was taking NHS patients…
I might need to consider private insurance at this point. What pisses me off is that corpo jobs will offer health insurance but NOT dental, even though most people can probably brave a GP waiting list but everyone has to pay out their arseholes for Dental.
The again, maybe I’m the minority with my fucked up teeth lmao. I’m just thankful my wisdom teeth grew in straight!
