The joys of having a private dentist, I feel for those who can't get in anywhere.

Three years ago when we had problems and couldn't see an NHS dentist we reluctantly signed up with a private practitioner. He's excellent but his charges are eye watering. We had no choice though and are fortunate that as long as nothing too drastic needs doing or we don't need to go too often we can just about afford it

Last year when I finally had enough of 7 years of dental pain and was in excruciating pain as the infection had reached its final bit of pulp I was lucky enough to get an emergency appointment - I had to go private though and £55 later I was hit with a £175 cost for having the tooth out

Luckily I’ve not had any issues with that side of the mouth since and my quality of life has improved- but I’m sure they found the funny side in charging me £230 to have a sore tooth out…like yeah it really was tooth hurty!

I've always had a belief that Range Rovers are designed with c#nts in mind.

All over

It is a disgrace and indicative of where things are going with medical care on the whole. Those who advocate private insurance should think about the people who can't afford it as I have seen posts on here before doing that. Even if you can afford it does not cover existing conditions. If you are on a dental plan, that also keeps going up the moment you need any work done or the condition of your mouth/teeth is not good as is based on points/score. I am saying nothing more on the subject as can be divisive and have better things to do at the moment but as I said a disgace imo.

I’ll have a go for you if you like OP. Can’t promise you won’t get an extra hole in your face and I’m enthusiastic but bore easily. Still, you pays your money you takes your chances

2022 I paid just over £16 for a check up, 2023 it shot up to £25+.

I sat in the waiting room, there was a turnover of 5 minutes between a patient in, out, and the next one going in. Around £300 an hour at that rate. Now they are going to put the prices up to attract more dentists.

Near Clacton

Dentists see every patient as a new set of wheels for their fancy cars. I remember when, if a gold filling, or as I have, half a gold back tooth, they would say it will be cheaper if you bring in any old gold you have. That was a long running rip off. The actual amount of gold used in a filling is minute, also it's actual Carat is very very low ranging between 3 to 5 carat, and is merely a powder for colour. As I said I have half a gold lower back tooth and the gold worth in 2020 was £4:00, I know because it came out and had to be redone and I put the old filling in my gold scrap as I don't have to pay for dental treatment.

Atkins, Hunt, Sunak and Rees-Moggs have the solution to the dental crisis - a free pair of Brexit Pliers for all the less wealthy people and a pamphlet on self-sufficiency.

Found out something really interesting recently. So there's a lady that was on a podcast (JRE) and she dealt with easy cavity occurrence with some of her teeth. She never eats anything sugary.. or doesn't have anything with added sugar in at least. She came across this certain kind of gum called "xzylitol gum". She chewed it for a little while, then went back to the dentist and the dentist was a bit shocked as she didn't have any more cavities found in her teeth. So it turns out, that xzylitol gum kills off the bacteria in you're mouth that causes the cavities.

The more you know.

I would still advise anyone to go do their own research into it as it may be a viable and useful product for protecting you're own teeth.

I'm not sure she discovered anything new. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener in most sugar free gums. It's been in them since I chewed gum at school and it used to be advertised as cavity reducing/protecting on telly ads in the late 90s.

Xylitol and other poly-ols can give some people serious bellyache and diarrhoea, unfortunately.

TYPO

Side Effects of Xylitol

Xylitol is basically used for oral health. It is a sugar alcohol, basically and if the alcohol is not digested, it can lead to gastric and diarrhea. If your intake of xylitol is very high it may lead to hypoglycaemia or low blood sugar.

Xylitol can have laxative effects, if consumed in large doses. Diarrhea and bloating common side effects of xylitol. Very high doses of xylitol given in IV is known to cause high uric acid levels in blood. These high levels of uric acid can cause kidney stones. There are chances of changes in liver function tests and high level of blood acidity.

That bacteria contains enzymes that help to digest your food, as it goes down the food pipe towards the stomach.

Sugar isn't the only acidic thing in your mouth, citric acid from citrus fruits and tomatoes, both solids and smoothies need to be considered.

Added to the fact that Omeprazole users have leaky stomach valves that allow some stomach acid to come back up the food pipe can also attack the teeth. GERD/GORD is also called long term heartburn and it's bloody horrible.

Vomiting whether it be from hangovers, morning sickness or eating disorders, can and will leave telltale signs, which good dentists can pick up on.

Scrubbing too hard, bleaching toothpastes and certain DIY treatments can actually damage your teeth, as can avoiding milk and cheese and finicky diets.

Yea, me

I'm lucky that I've had the same dentist since I was in my early 20s. I can always get an appointment and have one next week.

It's supposed to be a root canal and cap but the tooth broke when I opened a plastic pack with it,so I don't know what will happen now.

I'm hoping it can still be capped.
