A question if anyone can help/advise?
Aren't NHS dentists able to do all types dental treatments eg: root canal?, even if it is a difficult tooth, or they refer you...
Stephen J. replied:
They should be able to do anything or refer you to another NHS dentist accordingly. However I have discovered that some NHS dental treatment is false economy and gone back to private:(

We now use Pure Smile as sick being ripped off by private dentists. Bill saved a bomb with root canal and a crown! We still use the private hygienist though at our old private dentist.

Same happened to me. Was going to Shinfield dentist and the guy tolld me i needed root canal and a crown re-done after they bodged it. Went private to the dentist in Gypsy Lane and paid over £2000 (mum paid as i couldnt afford it) and got my teeth sorted including a tooth extraction too. At the time they referred me to some place in Pangbourne. Now i found out that this is totally illegal and they shouldnt do that. I now have another broken tooth, went back to Shinfield who said they can do it for £200 but the guy only works on a wednesday and the next available time they can do it is August - so disappointed with the NHS dentists in this world. Trying to go to Smiles on Wokingham Road after recommendations on her last week.
Can anyone recommend a good dentist in Manchester? My poor boyfriend is in agony with wisdom tooth pain :(
