I luckily found an NHS dentist but recently had a filling., just the one , took about 15 minutes. How is the price of £43.60 justified? We do have an emergency dental clinic here which charges £15.20 if it is an extraction or filling. How can the NHS charge that amount and what would it have cost privately?
I had one filling on NHS cost £43.60 How much private?
They've changed it fairly recently so that there are three different bands of payment - the first one is around £15 and includes things like cleanings, check-ups and routine x-rays. If you need any fillings, you go into the second band which is £43 - it doesn't matter whether you need 1 filling or 5 fillings, you'll still pay the same. And then the third price bracket is about £125 and that's if you need things like root canals, crowns, bridges etc.
If you'd gone private, the initial consultation and check-up with x-rays would have cost you around £45 minimum. Then for the filling, depending on the size, you'd be looking at between about £75 and £150.
Reply:Even tho it is a NHS dentist sometimes you have to pay private, because they cant get the funding, thats the same with my dentist its NHS (ie) free for thos under 16 and on benifits, but every day people such as me and you have to pay private prices !!
Reply:Holey moely that's expensive. I had 2 amalgum fillings and one composite done last year on the NHS, and I paid £33 for the lost. You have been ripped off by the sound of it.
Reply:That sounds like a private dentists charges for certain! NHS is usually between 7 - 15 pounds.
Reply:there should be a poster up in the reception telling you the three price bands.1 is £15.20. 2 is £43.60, 3 is £100+,depending on the work.my wife just had a clean,2 fillings and a crown stuck back on for £43.60 !
Reply:The moment you see the dentist, in a private practise, the consultation begins, the moment he peers into your mouth the fees have doubled.
He put fingers or instruments into your mouth fees have trebled.
If there are x-rays to be taken additional fees.
Should you have treatment eg a filling you would be lucky to see any change out of £250.00 at least.
Reply:Yes, Ł15.90 is for emergency dental treatment (extraction up to 2 teeth,
1 permanent filling etc.), or for initial dental examination, x-rays, teeth cleaning. It is called Band 1. Fillings - no matter, how many - raise up the price to Ł43.60, which is Band 2. If any crowns, bridges, dentures are needed, this is Band 3 - about Ł190, I don't remeber how much exactly.
The above are the NHS fees.

Is dentalworks good ?
i am looking for a reputable dental clinic and I came across Dentalworks. They made an estimate on me. I guess its kind of high.
Is dentalworks good ?
FYI,
DENTALWORKS WAS PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS SEARS DENTAL. THEY PROVIDE FAIR CARE THAT'S NOT AS VALUED IN THE DENTAL WORLD AS DENTISTS IN PRIVATE PRACTICE.

My 19 month old baby has milk botte tooth decay on his four upper front teeth..can he have tooth fillings?
around how much will it cost?? any recommendations on which dental clinic should i bring him???
My 19 month old baby has milk botte tooth decay on his four upper front teeth..can he have tooth fillings?
Yes your child can have tooth fillings. It also depends on the severity of the decay. I am not too sure about the pricing but it costs less than normal fillings and it can last for up to 10years.
Baby bottle tooth decay occurs when a child's teeth are exposed to sugary liquids, such as formula, fruit juices, and other sweetened liquids for a continuous, extended period of time. The practice of putting a baby to bed with a bottle, which the baby can suck on for hours, is the major cause of this dental condition. The sugary liquid flows over the baby's upper front teeth and dissolves the enamel, causing decay that can lead to infection. The longer the practice continues, the greater the damage to the baby's teeth and mouth.
PLEASE BRING YOUR BABY TO THE DENTIST!
f you think that baby teeth are not important because they will soon be replaced by more permanent ones, you are wrong.
Baby teeth help to keep a space in the jaw for adult teeth. If a baby tooth is lost too early, the tooth beside it may shift into the empty space so that when the time comes for the adult tooth to emerge, there may not be enough room. This can result in crooked or crowded teeth.
Baby teeth are also important in helping the baby learn how to speak and talk properly. And of course, healthy-looking teeth are a tremendous boost to a child's self-confidence and self-esteem.
The treatment options for Baby Bottle Tooth Decay vary depending on how serious the condition is. Discuss with the dentist what the best management option for your child is
Hope the link helps.
Reply:he will lose those teeth anyway
Reply:ask your doctor.
Reply:I don't think they will fill them. My niece had the same thing because her mother always put her to bed at night with a bottle of milk. She ended up having to have nine teeth pulled by the time she was 7 years old.
Reply:No point. The teeth will fall out anyways.
Reply:i'm not sure if he could or not, but i wouldn't reccommend it. he's going to loose those baby teeth anyways. why subject your son to the tortures of the dentist and everything?
Reply:yes in fact i strongly reccomend it because the fillings will fall out when their adult teeth come in but if you leave the decay they will just continue to decay.
Reply:when the teeth are decayed that bad the dentist will usually put silver caps on them
Reply:Don't get him a filling...They're going to fall out and you're going to be wasting your money. See if there is anything temporary that they can do for him.
Reply:He can and should have fillings, but depending on the decay they may need crowns. If you leave the decay, they may "fall out anyway" but they will fall out too early and cause his permanent teeth to drift and grow in in the wrong areas or crooked. Also it will cause him a lot of pain. They won't be falling out naturally until he is at least 6 years old so getting them fixed would be a good investment. I'm not sure about the cost but for adults it can start around $50 for a filling. If you are looking for a less expensive clinic, you can see if there is a dental school in your area. They usually have discounted prices.
Reply:Adeline had a lot of great information. You really need to have your child see the dentist. yes, his teeth will fall out, but not until he is about 5 or 6 years old. You can't let your baby go with untreated decay for that amount of time. Also, don't be tempted to just have them removed. Baby teeth maintain space for adult teeth. Missing teeth at this early in childhood with drastically effect the space left for adult teeth to come in. Also, a child missing his front teeth while he learning to talk WILL impact speech development.
I don't know of any dentist that would recommend removing these teeth. Treatment would range anywhere from fillings or stainless steel caps, depending on the severity of the decay.
Reply:#1. TAKE HIM TO PEDIATRIC DENTIST.
#2. DO NOT GIVE HIM ANYTHING BUT WATER IN A BATTLE AT NIGHT-OTHERWISE BOTTLE CARIES WILL CAUSE HIS TEETH TO BE EXTRACTED.
#3. ONLY THE DENTIST WHO SEES YOUR SON CAN DETERMINE IF THOSE TEETH NEED FILLINGS.

If you are referring to downtown JB,

2)Hospital Besar Tun Aminah at Jalan Abu Bakar
3) Same place with hospital besar (individual building).
4) Leisure Mall at Pelangi have Giant Hypermarket. Plaza Pelangi (ground level).
5) City Square at downtown should be a better choice. Next is Plaza Pelangi. Jusco Tebrau City is the most popular now (at Jalan Kota Tinggi)
6) Bus station- not very sure but most buses stop on either side of City Square. The main is at Larkin.
7) You can find it at City Square too. However, you can stop any taxi along the main road.
8) Overall it should be good since the taxi driver are making a living out of it. They will do their best to provide the customer with a reasonable service, if not the best.
9)Not very sure.

Need the location of 1-800-336-8877?
It's a dental clinic or school I think.
Need the location of 1-800-336-8877?
The number is for 1-800-Dentures, in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
Reply:Call the number and ask them
Reply:It's for 1-800-Dentures
Just google it, it comes right up.
Reply:The number is located @ Your local jail
Reply:1-800-DENTURES is the number for a chain of dental clinics, called Affordable Dentures, specializing in extractions and "false" teeth. They make partial or full dentures. There are many facilities across the country. If you call the number, they can tell you the one closest to you. Most don't require an appointment, can make you a set of teeth in one day (if you time it right), and offer different "packages" based on price. That way, you could go with a cheaper or more expensive set.
