Yes I agree, my daughter is a student teacher so I knew she was having some fillings carried out and was struggling with the cost, I went to meet her following her fillings and said to the receptionist that I would pay for her as a surprise, 300 pounds later I was gobsmacked! My daughter showed me the treatment plan and all the work she is having which is basically x rays, scale and polish, some antibiotics for an infected tooth and a few more fillings comes to 1400 pounds in total! She stopped going to the dentist when he retired when she was 18, and due to not being able to find and NHS dentist and being terrified of dentists, then along came Covid, she basically decided brushing and flossing was enough, until she got terrible toothache, now she is getting them all in order and at some point needs her wisdom teeth out (on waiting list as they are growing inwards and causing her recurrent infections and pain) A waiting list this time has a positive of being able to save up for it but wow, its painful in all ways seeing a dentist now isnt it.Over the past year, dental services have grown due to the crisis and the price of materials. It is difficult to imagine how much inflation will be by spring and how it will affect the population's finances. Therefore, if you decide to contact a specialist now, this is a wise decision.
