A previous lady dentist of mine in the UK broke my tooth off.:doh I'm still waiting for a repair years later.

I had the same dismal experience. She ruined some perfectly good teeth. It was all about the money. :NoNo:

Last time i was in Tacloban a lady dentist repaired one of my fillings (front tooth) . Did a great job and it was also very cheap.

[Slip]

I had a lady dentist for the best part of 15 years.... I used to work next door to my dentist so kept regular visits.. since changing job 9 years ago I have only been once....
When I made the appointment they asked the name of my dentist, I was polity told.... erm... she left 7 years ago, you need to re-register here!
I hate dentists and will only go now if my teeth are in agony!!! But at that price I would go a lot more!

Male Dentist for me in the Philippines.....but i am scheduled for a dental hygienist (january 2014/UK) which happens to be a female ..flippin scared :yikes: dunno ..we'll see :biggrin:

[KeithD]

I just got a letter from my dentist asking why I didn't attend the appointment last week that they never told me I had :Erm: :crazy:

[grahamw48]

Mine send me reminder texts....a good thing too. :cwm25:

[nigelmac]

I dread going to the dentist, but a female dentist may well help me take my mind of things and give me something to look at apart from the ceiling lol

[grahamw48]

I had to get my eyes tested a few weeks ago.

The optician lady was young and gorgeous. :cwm24:

She had to spend lots of time leaning across me with her face about an inch from mine, perfuming wafting, while she peered into my eyes...which soon seemed to become glazed and unfocused. :Cuckoo:

No, none at all.

What was curious, was that she was a Muslim lady. :Erm:

[Michael Parnham]

I had a beautiful Muslim student at the dental hospital last time I had a check up, and I said to her that it was the most erotic experience I'd ever had, I'm going again this Thursday for some treatment with the same student. Looking forward to that!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

These days I get almost all my dental work done in Philippines. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Same goes for eye tests....although I've noticed the frames are getting more expensive than many in UK

should've had the dentist today.. decided the £500 was better spent elsewhere so cancelled

In my experience, you dont get the same quailty as private. When was the last time you had treatment for whitening?

[nigelmac]

just a quick question guys if you have some dental surgery do get done ie Implants etc would you recommend the Philippines over Thailand cost versus quality results etc have any of you had any experience?

[joebloggs]

In my experience, you dont get the same quailty as private. When was the last time you had treatment for whitening?

quality :Erm: i've got a couple of crowns that i had done well over 20yrs ago on the NHS :wink:

You must have a better dentist than what I had.

There needs to be more checks and scrutiny of NHS Dentists :-


How Birmingham dentist fleeced NHS of £1.4m

Scam artist Joyce Trail is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence after being found guilty of fraud - and she has now been struck off the register by the General Dental Council.

The GDC's Professional Conduct Committee heard that between April 2006 and March 2009, she submitted a staggering 7,141 fraudulent claims for payment to the NHS.

These included:

Pain treatment for patients she had not treated
Fitting dentures to people who did not need them
Fitting dentures to people who were not entitled to have their treatment paid for by the NHS
Provision of dentures to people who, it turned out, were dead

In total, £1,376,423 was paid to Trail that she was not entitled to.

i had not been to the dentist for about 2yrs too, i had done near enough the same as you, and like i said it cost me £214, i would never go private, :NoNo:

Yep, me too. ..in fact it was longer. We took out Denplan back in the early 90s when we first went private.

I only cancelled it 2 years ago. .I was trying to reduce my outgoings :cwm25: I had a big spender sat at home
:cwm25::cwm25::cwm25:

I was paying £21 pm. Over the 2 years all that work I've just had done would of set me back £500 ...pig sick or what! !!.

Yeah well get this, that isn't the worst of it. I need an implant as well..The base where the crown sat is shot...that's gonna set me back a further £2300. ......2013 wasn't a particularly good year. I'm well choked up :bigcry::cwm23::bigcry::doh I can't believe it

[grahamw48]

Agree.

I had a set of seven teeth made for the ex, early on in our relationship. It cost peanuts compared to here, and the work was all carried out very professionally.

(I didn't have the heart to ask for them back after we split).

Just had a check up with my man - top fella he runs his practice with his dentist wife and one of their kids is at Dental School. They've not taken on new NHS patients for a long while. I've been with him about 20 years when he split away from the outfit he was working for. A very wealthy family.

[Doc Alan]

Just over 2/5 of Britain’s 40,000 dentists are female, although 9/10 of the 60,000 dental care professionals - like hygienists and nurses - are female.


They must all be registered with the General Dental Council ( GDC ) to work in the UK. The GDC is independent of the Government and NHS, and its role is to protect dental patients. Of course each dental practice has its own complaint procedure, and if you’re still unhappy, further help is available - the buck stops with the GDC.



There are probably a similar number of dentists in the Philippines ( World Health Organization estimate ) but I’m unaware of the proportions of females : males. They are regulated and registered with the Philippine Professional Regulation Commission and are members of the Philippine Dental Association. The Philippines does seem to have a good reputation for quality dental care at much lower cost than that in the UK.


Here in the UK it may indeed be hard to find NHS dental services. Before ANY dental professional carries out work, in UK or Philippines, they should take a full medical history and after examining your mouth, give you a treatment plan and estimate of how much any work will cost, in writing. Especially for visiting " dental tourists ", a time for treatment is vital.

The trend – for many years now – is for “ conservative dentistry “. If you have a choice, it’s better to conserve teeth than agree to extraction ( and perhaps dentures or other expensive treatment ).


The cost of dental treatment does vary according to where you live, as well as how complicated the treatment is and whether any laboratory work is involved. While NHS costs are set each year by each of the four UK departments of health, dental fees in the private sector vary widely. There are no official guidelines for what private dentistry may cost.



If you are registered as an NHS patient, you are entitled to emergency treatment within 24 hours, and private dentists have a duty to provide similar cover. It’s vital to give informed consent to treatment - in UK or the Philippines - which includes understanding possible complications, and what follow up is available.



Almost all adults - and at least 2/5 schoolchildren - worldwide have dental cavities. Severe periodontal ( gum ) disease affects up to a fifth of middle-aged adults.


The aim of regular ( at least once a year ) check ups is to achieve good oral health, as part of general health and quality of life. This isn’t just freedom from tooth decay and gum disease, with the pain they cause, but also infections, sores, mouth and throat cancer.


Of course this is costly, and it’s a matter of opinion – and luck - whether it will be better to “ pay as you go “, or take out a monthly policy such as the UK’s “ Denplan “.



A link between oral health, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other conditions does exist. However, they have common risk factors such as age, family history, male sex, ethnicity ( which can’t be changed ), socioeconomic status, high cholesterol, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol excess, obesity. Indeed, the evidence for oral disease CAUSING disease elsewhere in the body is unconvincing. Stress through unexpectedly high dental charges may well be a contributory factor, however !


Part of their training includes good communication skills, so the majority of dental professionals do realise that most people don’t enjoy visiting their practices. But good oral hygiene, fluoridated water / toothpaste, and check ups at reasonable intervals should ensure that the pain ( real and financial ) is minimised :xxgrinning--00xx3: !
