Dentists Charges

[Robbo 27]

Went to the dentists yesterday, 1:30 appointment, I was out at 1:33. She looked in my mouth, counted each tooth, gave me the opportunity of smelling some garlic on her gloves, Told me I was fine see you in six months.

Charged me £19.70. That is almost £400 an hour.

A bit bloody dear.

Fair comments, and you echo what the missus said.

Once you've had major work. More than happy to hand over £20 quid and told those words see you in six months and not Root Canal

You are absolutely right, been over 10 years since I have had any work done, not even a filling so I guess I should count my blessings and not my bank balance.

As the OP, who had just spent £19.70, for a check up which felt like nothing more than counting my teeth, and thats the way it was been for the past 10 years, twice a year.

I was in the chair at 1:30, writing a cheque at 1:33 and out the door.

I now hear that the total cost is subsidised by £20 a treatment.

The majority of you tell me that I am not getting shafted, its great value.

Maybe it is, just doesnt feel like it.

And for what I am paying, a clean pair of gloves for each patient would be welcome, not reaking of garlic and tooth decay.
