Question: My mum and I go to the same dentist. Me privately, her on the NHS. For a check up and filling.....?
For me, the dentist did the check-up on one day and the filling another day, charging two fees.

For my mum, the dentist did the check-up and offered to do the filling on the same visit. Due to the NHS funding structure, he would only have got one fee whether he did it there and then or on a separate day.

Can any conclusions be drawn from this.? Do you have any similar experiences.?

(By the way, the NHS is the National Health Service in the UK. There are set prices for NHS dental treatment)Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It depends on the dentist as this can happen the other way round too.
I read a post on here ages ago about an NHS dentist making 3 separate charges, so ask friends and family when choosing a dentist, it pays.
