Types of Dentists – NHS Dentists and Private Dentists

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

There are two types of dentists you can visit, you can either go to a private dentist or an NHS dentist. The ideal number of times you should visit your dentist is every 6 months for a check up – don’t fall behind otherwise you run the risk of your teeth falling out!

Dental fees vary significantly between the different practices throughout the UK. You may pay a high price but may receive high quality dental work. In contrast to this, you may pay a cheaper price and still get very high quality dental care. It is always better to brush your teeth regularly to ensure that when you do have to go to the dentist, you have to pay for as little work as necessary as you have looked after you teeth and you do not require any fillings.

Hate toothache? Go to the dentist!

I have an NHS dentist and (touch wood) I have never had any problems what so ever with them. Previously many people have had problems finding an NHS dentist because NHS dentists are in very short supply and the surgeries were all filled up with the maximum number of patients.

Last time I went to the dentist I just had a check up and did not require any treatment (because I brush my teeth morning and night) therefore the cost of my dentist visit was £16. I think this is slightly expensive for some man to poke around in my mouth for a few minutes. Nonetheless, it is a price I am willing to pay because I hate having toothache!
