I don't get all this nhs/private thing. I pay for him to work on my teeth, does that mean it is private? The receptionist always asks if I pay for treatment, if I didn't pay would that be NHS?

Sounds like it’s a bit late to worry about it

That's NHS like me. You only get it for 'free' when you're on benefits etc. The rest of us are required to pay whatever banding the work is classed as.

I don't really do regrets, I just tend to get on with things but OMG I do so regret not looking after my teeth better when I was younger.
I have been using the same dentist for many years and he is a proper character.
He did used to get carried away sometimes pulling teeth out (partial denture as proof).
Anyway I am rambling.

Are you a bit dim? You mention not looking after them then act like your dentists a weirdo for "getting carried away" taking teeth out? Obviously you've neglected your teeth by your own admissiom to the point they needed extraction, why make out like the dentist is strange?? Take some responsibility for your own decisions. You need to choose between enjoying the taste of sweet stuff in your mouth or keeping your teeth. Simple as.
