Re: Dentists Charge Like Wounded Bulls
That sounds incredibly expensive for just three fillings, Bruce! I guess one aspect our NHS is good for is charges such as these, which over here would cost much less. Obviously root canal treatment and such like would be more expensive.Re: Dentists Charge Like Wounded Bulls
Yes that does sound expensive. We have mainly private dentists around where I live. There are a couple of NHS but it's impossible to get treatment as there is a waiting list of around 14,000 people. I haven't been to the dentist for about five years now and I doubt I will again, I shall just have to accept it when my teeth fall out.Re: Dentists Charge Like Wounded Bulls

Here in New Zealand dental is not part of the health system except if you are under 18 when it's free (other than cosmetic). just last week I had a back tooth out and it cost me $124. The dentist I attend has an arrangement with the Otago Dental School where students in their last year get practical experience under the guidence of the experienced dentist. This is optional as far as the patient is concerned and cost is reduced by 45%. Being mean by nature I opted for this and was very pleasantly surprised that I nearly fell asleep in the chair.Re: Dentists Charge Like Wounded Bulls
Hi all. Yep Bruce it sure is expensive. BUt I have to say your dentist sounds pretty cheap compared to mine. Is that $450 your out of pocket after a partial rebate from a private health fund or the total cost? Last time I had a similar amount of work done it cost me twice that much. I'm with HCF.Re: Dentists Charge Like Wounded Bulls
