It's absolutely disgusting the way dental practice is today.. I need work in my teeth but can't afford the outrageous fees they are charging.. Most problems are caused by fillings falling out from previous treatments... Shame on the dental outlaws..
Could the access to nhs dental treatment be means tested?...i personally know of people accessing nhs dental treatment who can easily afford to go private...come on £500,000 pounds in savings and is happy using nhs for dental treatment...this stops others who need nhs dental treatment due to low income being able to register...
If you had the tooth removed/extracted, then yes Band 2 is correct. Band 4/emergency appointment covers the checkup and tasks such stopping bleeding or providing pain relief. The action of removing a tooth incurs higher costs.
Really useful - thanks! I have a rear upper molar that requires repair. It's been filled a couple of times. Both long sides (inner/outer) are complete but the front and back short sides are 'U' shaped, creating a bit of a channel (front to back). My original NHS dentist suggested an emax or gold crown (eventually), but the new dentist that's taken over suggests that there's not enough tooth for a crown and the 'good' sides would require removing, so wants to do a private onlay for circa £650. It looks like it an onlay is available on the NHS for £220. What advantage would a private v's NHS onlay give me please?
Hi. Great question and getting into real specifics here so limited in what answer we can give but, the primary difference is likely to be the materials & colour. More choice when paying privately. It would be worth discussing with your dentist specifically based on their assessment of your tooth.
I'm currently looking for an NHS dentist in my area, it ain't easy. I need root canal and hope they offer internal bleaching, will probably cost an arm and a leg.
Its a joke for a check up its expensive my teeth are bad i don't need to pay someone to tell me that and then again for treatment and thats understandable but check ups should be more reasonable price
Good evening Doctor. Could you tell me if I get universal credit + and temporary disability benefit can I count on nhs bands or I should treat to the private clinic? I tried to find out, but there was only information about patients who are free from payment ( NH2 form). As for the nhs bands,looks like everyone is able to get. I called to the dental clinic but receptionist told me that all the information at the website.
@@ElectricTeeth that's different at my dentist. You pay at the start of the course of treatment for the beginning of the multiple fillings that take several visits and not for individual fillings.
Hi! Thank you for the great video! I had recently registered a new dental practice, and had a first appointment under band 1 for a general check-up. During the check up I was advised to come back for a dental extraction. However, the receptionist insists that I should pay band 1 plus band 2 the very first appointment is charged separately and was not considered as a routine check-up. Does this sounds right that I need to pay both band 1 and 2 please?!! Very new to the UK dental system and really appreciate your advice!
Based on what I know I can't see why this would be the case at all. It is my understanding, whether you are a new or existing patient this would be considered a band 2 charge only.
I went to the dentist on the 25th of March and paid £25.80 for band 1 and was told I need a filling which falls into band 2. The NHS prices have increased meaning band 2 was £70.70 and is now £73.50. Would they take what I’ve already paid of the old price for band 2 or the new one?
Just as an example then, my wife needs to go get checked, she's got decay behind almost all front teeth and they are wobbly. We don't really eat sweet things but she eats lots of crisps and fizzy drinks. I expect she would need them removing and getting dentures. What would be our total cost on the NHS on universal credit for the initial appointment and the remaining work?
Hi. This treatment would fall under band 3. However, what the exact cost I can't say. You income and the amount of support you get under universal credit will impact the cost and what additional contribution (if any) you may get. I put this together as a guide based on freely available information. You will need to speak to your dental practice to get the most accurate information based on your wifes needs and your personal circumstance.
Lot of people moaning about NHS dentists but I always feel lucky to at least have dental treatment available. When I was younger I spent some time in remote parts of the world working with tribal societies. The number one issue they had with ageing was rotten teeth, gum and mouth diseases frequently leading to early deaths or just miserable lives. And don't get me wrong I really, really hate visiting the dentist but at the end of the day, I really REALLY love eating and drinking more so I deal with it.
I will tell you becase these people won’t ….they will be cancelling but still charging the nhs for treating you…it’s a nice scam dentists are using but don’t worry this will hit the news soon
I am disgusted with nhs dental pratice and what it has become which is all about money and not treatment and care. When you go onto the governments the information is confusing and the paper is exhausting. You better having no teeth then getting help with dental care in the UK.
Any new contracts between dentists/dental practices and the NHS I don't believe changes the contents of this video. We are presenting the information for the public and not assessing contracts from a clinicians point of view. Unless I am not aware of something I should be?
The fee/charge applies per course of treatment. So for example, if the dentist thinks you only need one tooth out, then the fee will apply for the removal of this one tooth. If in a year's time, you need another tooth removed, this would be a separate fee, as this is considered another course of treatment. However, if the dentist were to suggest that you need multiple teeth out at the same time, then this is considered one course of treatment, so you pay just the one fee.
Hi I am 24 year old female and have significantly receded gums on the front bottom teeth. I have gum disease. Does NHS do gum grafts? Right now I am very anxious and worried that I might lose my teeth. Thank you for your help.
Do these rules apply to those who have uk work visa and pay subcharges or these rules only apply to those who have uk citizenship? Also, you mentioned white fillings are offered privately? Does that mean that nhs dentists do not have white fillings and put only silver ones? Thank you
I am afraid I can't comment on your exact situation. A local NHS dental practice will be able to advise you as they have more knowledge on what is and isn't included. The NHS dentists will normally have white filling material available, but it isn't normally used if you are an NHS patient. You usually get silver ones. You can pay to have white.
I don't know to be honest what happens if you can't pay on the day. I would imagine you would be chased for payment. If you know you can't pay it would be better to discuss with the dental practice first.
Theres no wonder there are few NHS Dentist appointments when the Dentists are paid that much they only want to work 3 days a week. Luxury lifestyles and flash cars at the expense of patient care, it actually makes me sick
Hi, i was in the process of having 7 private crowns on my upper front teeth from a private dentist. I unfortunately had to stop and go look after my terminally ill father. I've since had to spend the remainder of my teeth money to put towards my dads funeral. One if the 7 already had a private crown from 20 years ago. The others are chipped, one is dead i think. My question is, would I be able to get the work done on the NHS instead?
I am sorry to read about your loss and situation. It would depend. In theory yes, but you would need to be registered with an NHS dentist and they would need to assess how necessary each crown was.
EVERYBODY should have dental care... The dentists have become greedy and NHS should be ashamed.. NHS dentists is impossible to find.. And I mean impossible... This video is a hoax..

I've been trying to register at a dentist for over a year now. I'm being forced to go private and having to bump the bill oh well

Most of dental practices are not taking in adult patients anymore. What other options are there? Private practices?
Yeh go private and take the bill to your local mp and just leave it there and explain your human rights to the mp and walk away
Hospital treatment by dental students is free.
We can set up a Cooperative?
NHS dentists are now rare because the government dont give them enougb money to run a practice.
I had emergency appointment with abcess and cracked tooth, which needed extraction. However I was charged Band 2 instead of Band 4. Is this correct?
If you had the tooth removed/extracted, then yes Band 2 is correct. Band 4/emergency appointment covers the checkup and tasks such stopping bleeding or providing pain relief. The action of removing a tooth incurs higher costs.

Great thanks, if I have three fillings on my treatment plan do I pay one band 2 cost (£70.70) or do I pay three band 2 costs (£112.10) thanks
The fillings should fall under Band 2 at £70.70 in England for all your fillings. So 1 fee.
Anyone know if band 2 covers multiple fillings or its just for a singe teeth i m so confused thansk
It will cover multiple fillings, providing they are completed at the same time.
@@ElectricTeeth that's different at my dentist. You pay at the start of the course of treatment for the beginning of the multiple fillings that take several visits and not for individual fillings.

In theory, you should pay the lower price because it is usually considered 1 period of treatment and that started before the price increase.

What is a NHS Dentist. Here is SW Scotland there are no NHS dentists.
Why does my dentist keep cancelling my appointments on band 3 treatments?
Unfortunately it's not possible for me to answer this question. Best to contact your dentist and ask if they are the ones cancelling.
I will tell you becase these people won’t ….they will be cancelling but still charging the nhs for treating you…it’s a nice scam dentists are using but don’t worry this will hit the news soon

Yes, I believe they do. But it would be down to the dentist to diagnose this and suggest this is the appropriate course of action.
Thank you so so much for your response ❤️ this video is amazing
Bupa dental care shutting 85 practices in the UK this year.
Do these rules apply to those who have uk work visa and pay subcharges or these rules only apply to those who have uk citizenship? Also, you mentioned white fillings are offered privately? Does that mean that nhs dentists do not have white fillings and put only silver ones? Thank you

If I can’t pay on the day will I just reciece a bill thanks
I don't know to be honest what happens if you can't pay on the day. I would imagine you would be chased for payment. If you know you can't pay it would be better to discuss with the dental practice first.
I need not worry about dental charges because i cannot get in to see a dentist..My teeth are crumbling away and falling out now.
Theres no wonder there are few NHS Dentist appointments when the Dentists are paid that much they only want to work 3 days a week. Luxury lifestyles and flash cars at the expense of patient care, it actually makes me sick
Do senior citizens get free NHS tmt in UK
No not unless they meet other criteria that might make them exempt from charges.
