How are health ministers spending their time, maybe in the pubs and cafes in the Houses of Parliament. Why not spending time in health and dentistry???????

I have been badgered by constant sugestions to go private at every check up I've had.
I've had a two year battle With my dentist overabad tooth I have, they said nothing was wrong and kept filling it. 4 or 5 days before my last check up the filling dropped out they attempted to remove my bad molar and SNAPPED my molar while extracting it. The dentist imediately said they could do no more and I now needed to be referred to the hospital for a free NHS removal of the remaining tooth. I was stunned as the last molar I had extracted by another dentist was cut into 3 bits and removed separately with no problem. I am now in constant pain night and day at risk of infection. I hope this dentist meets a similar fate in her flash car!!

Dentist for the highest bidder.
All dentists should be required to do some NHS dentistry when they first qualify.
It is absolutely about the money.

[@lauralove00]

certainly is, thats why they add nonsense we don't need doing in every treatment plan. example: teeth cleaning but you need an extraction. I mean, it would not be a problem if the teeth cleaning was free. yet they know we broke and charge like £50 on top

Brexit has cost £140BN so far, imagine if we'd spent that on the country instead.
