Just been to the dentist - first time in 6 years :eek:

£2694 of treatment needed

All my own fault but should come out looking better than ever

Posty · 27 Jan 2007 at 16:53

what kind of treatment cost you that much money?

RandomTom · 27 Jan 2007 at 16:55

getting a full set of gold teeth?

sist_si · 27 Jan 2007 at 16:55

all i can say to that is wow! :eek:

I went for the 1st time in 7 years last year and was fine! I was worried something like that would happen to me tho! I'm 29 and have no fillings or anything! touch wood I don't get any next time!

you think thats bad! my dad is insistent he doesn't need a dentist to tell him his teeth are perfect and that he can do it him self ( he has 0 medical training). Anyway i noticed he kept rubbing his teeth over Christmas so i took a look while he was napping on the couch and it looked to me like he needed a root canal, anyway after convincing him to go to the dentist turn out he needs two need teeth and a root canal on another..... $8000 worth of treatment :eek:

Goodjob my cousin is a cosmetic dentist.

Getting a grill?

I haven't been in nearly 10 years. I think I have good teeth, but as far as I'm concerned, dentists generally rob you blind unecessarily. That's why I don't ever go.

I brush 3 times a day most days and use Listerine.

£2694?

Did you have a new jaw installed or something? :eek:

Teledude · 27 Jan 2007 at 16:57

15 fillings, Hygine stuff like root planing and scaling and stuff and various other things

Adam · 27 Jan 2007 at 16:58

Thats awful, sounds like you need to have a look at your diet and the way you look after your teeth. I'd be embarassed if I went to the dentist and needed work like that

Andr3w · 27 Jan 2007 at 16:59

should brush your teeth properly

Teledude · 27 Jan 2007 at 16:59

Should get an NHS 16quid iirc for all the fillings

then 42 for root canal.

oh if you can find one that is

Wolf11 · 27 Jan 2007 at 17:49

I went to the dentists last week and it cost £15 ... £2600 :eek:

...Makes me glad I brush and floss regularly

Thats a lot, i have 24 teeth in total! WOW!

I had braces for 18 months and had to have 5 teeth out and that was hard, 15 fillings sounds a lot of work to be done!

Good Luck with it!

What did you eat? Like a pack of polos every hour?

Is that for a private dentist because the NHS only has three pay bands the highest being £189.

I would be suprised if any one can get a dentist on the National hell service. My dentist went private.

ElRazur · 28 Jan 2007 at 10:17

OP do you smoke and drink?

lol yeah...or they pretend to be out of allocated budget, thus they either make u wait till the next april(when they are meant to receive their new one) or they gonna have to treat u private...God bless the new changes!
