What dental treatment is covered by NHS?

Look if you cannot understand what your Dentist is saying to you and you need the nurse to translate what has been said as hard as it might be to find another NHS dentist I would suggest you change practises.

Fillings do not need a prep appointment. They should be done in one ten or twenty minute appointment.

You do not have to go for you next appointment and can move on and you should never be put in the position of feeling uncomfortable about pressure and it is unprofessional for a NHS dentist to do it.

If you have loads of treatment the maximum you can have to pay for the whole lot on the NHS is a set amount.

Talk your concerns over with your local health authority, there should be a dental helpline in the phone book and it is this number that will also help you find a new practise or Dentist.

ask for a quote for all treatment needed when you go back for your filling, I am sure the dentist is saying you need root planing which is not covered on the n.h.s and is very expensive the £190 is the max amount the government will pay towards your treatment I hope i have been some help to you I have had the root planing done but i went abroard to have it done

Once you are 19 you have to pay NHS dental fees. Some people are exempt, students are not. You'll have to pay for prescriptions too.

Judging by your pound symbol, I'm guessing you DON'T live in the U.S. therefor Ameriplan wouldn't be available to you nor would your dentist take it. So I guess I really don't know. I didn't notice the symbol until I loaded the answer page. :( sorry.
