Just been informed no more NHS treatment at my local dentist, we have to pay £15 per month...are there any NHS dentists left to join? Last thing I need is another 15 x3 pm outgoing.

I know where I am there are very few NHS dentists taking on anymore NHS patients.Just been informed no more NHS treatment at my local dentist, we have to pay £15 per month...are there any NHS dentists left to join? Last thing I need is another 15 x3 pm outgoing.
It's a disgrace bet all of these blokes getting housed in hotels will be getting free access and treatmentJust been informed no more NHS treatment at my local dentist, we have to pay £15 per month...are there any NHS dentists left to join? Last thing I need is another 15 x3 pm outgoing.
Eyes.I’m torn on this, it’s 2023 everyone know to brush twice a day, floss etc, the need for checkups should have gone, NHS dentists should be their for when there is a problem.
You don’t get regular checkups for the rest of you, why your teeth?
I‘m lucky enough to still have an NHS dentist, but since I moved to Sunderland and changed to this dentist they are like most others, reactive not proactive, I.e. only fix a problem when it’s a problem which imo supports my argument.
Aye, our lass and the bairns were there, been elsewhere for about 5 years now.I was with Oliver's on Durham Road for years. In fact, since I was a kid, and the Dentist then who had the practice was a Mr Hudson. Michael Oliver was Mr Hudson's apprentice in the late 1970's and learned his profession under him and the NHS.
Michael inherited this practice, and years later decided to go all-out private.
The patients were given Hobson's Choice : whether to pay money to Denplan and stay there, or go elsewhere.
An absolute shame for a man who learned his trade under the NHS to then turn his back on it and his patients - for his own financial gains.
TBF your free education didn't ever do you much good.It's a disgrace bet all of these blokes getting housed in hotels will be getting free access and treatment
Dinnar like, I do alright for myself ya f***ing meltTBF your free education didn't ever do you much good.
That could be a harsh assessment? From what I understand the dentists just can't afford to offer NHS treatment any more as they are not funded properly.An absolute shame for a man who learned his trade under the NHS to then turn his back on it and his patients - for his own financial gains.
Nah, the man in question was purely focused on profit.That could be a harsh assessment? From what I understand the dentists just can't afford to offer NHS treatment any more as they are not funded properly.
I don't know that particular dentist so maybe you are right for that individual. But I think generally the NHS are no longer funding dentistry properly so dentists are forced to go private.Nah, the man in question was purely focused on profit.
No regard for his patients that were on his books.
No loyalty to the system that trained him and gave him his chance in the world of dentistry.
They check more than your teeth, dafty.I’m torn on this, it’s 2023 everyone know to brush twice a day, floss etc, the need for checkups should have gone, NHS dentists should be their for when there is a problem.

I'm surprised The Tory's havent cottoned on to this. Obviously they wouldn't ringfence the the incoming funds for NHS use, however, i'm still surprised.Legalising and taxing certain drugs could be the big windfall the NHS needs. Ringfence the money.
