Dentist: Second Opinion

All I wanted was to make an appointment with a different dentist, and let him have a look and see what he thinks, but I can't really afford to pay through the nose. I have no idea what it costs just for an examination. It's not that long since the media was full of stories about people finding it almost impossible to get dentistry on the NHS.

Dentists aren't the same as GP's and you can go to any that you like, but I'm not sure that you can actually register at more than one NHS dentist. When I needed a complicated root canal job done I used a combination of private dentist and my NHS one. I aw a private dentist originally, had most of the work done by another private dentist that she recommended then had a gold crown fitted by my NHS dentist to save a bit of money [at that time my tooth became worth more than my car].
