Always been NHS, but wondering if I should get better treatment if I paid the exhorbitant Private a Fees. This new dentist I have causes pin, which I have never had previously. Difficult to get on another NHS dentists list, there are so few now taking on new patients. Does anyone paying private think it's worth it?

I don't think I've ever been to a private dentist and, so far (touch wood, I have been happy with NHS treatment.

Thank you everyone. Do think luck comes into it a lot, where I live it all seems to be private as NHS not taking more patients.

We didn't have a choice. We moved house and there was only one NHS dentist in town and he was oversubscribed. Having said that, we have been more than happy with the dentist we chose and are still with her 20 years on.

We do not have Denplan, we pay check-ups and occasional fillings from income and we have a building society account we pay a monthly sum into for all other dental and health expenses.
