PP you've missed the whole point of my thread, or not even bothered to read it, or my other posts. Lets see if I can help you further. The dentist that I see and have done for 20 years, along with many other regular customers of the same dentist is putting off those people whether they be private or NHS, for the now lucrative market of NEW private patients @ £150 a time. The Reason? because they know that many other people outside their normal area have not been able to get their normal treatment from their own dentist and the chances are that many now need urgent work done, so it is a case of strike while the iron is hot. Their on line booking system says it all, to understand the latter, read the OP. To the ones that say their dentist is working normally, then your lucky they still have some sort of moral code of practice, but there are many that are just ripping people off were possible.
When you have people losing their jobs and homes and fair play dental treatment is being made difficult for them to get, that just adds to the many problems that folk have had to endure over the last twelve months.
As someone said on TV tonight, The wages of sin is death, the greed of people today is unbelievable.
