Walker570 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Mine is a very simple job. A full retread job. The set I have are 30yrs old and running on the canvas, replaced the old set on the NHS. The set I had before also lasted thirty years. Yes, full set of dentures at 18 and never ever had a problem. I've not a problem with a six monthly check, I'll just post them with a padded envelope for return, even pay the postage.

He had a very steady hand and never used much anaesthesia. Could show some of the modern ones how t do it methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to admit they are the best I've ever been to over the years.. I paid £17 (if I remember right) for an NHS dental check up. Can't remember how long I had to wait, couple of weeks? Dentist did a good thorough job including a polish and didn't want to see me again for 18 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foreign aid budget is 0.3% of GDP, so in other words we keep 99.7 % of the wealth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodbepigeonshooter Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 If you contact111 then they are obliged to find you access to NHS dentistry . NHS dentists have to give you the different treatment options that are private and NHS so the patient can give informed consent to treatment.
