HNS dentists are paid by the government for children and reduced income categories but the rest of us have to pay for our treatment.


Not many NHS dentists around now as a lot of them are going private.
Reply:Practically nonexistent!
Reply:I have a National Health Service dentist within a private practice. I pay for my treatments, but they are a lot less than I would pay privately. Treatment is subsidised by the government. Anyone can receive NHS dental treatment. My husband, who is over 60, receives free dental treatment, which includes crowns and dentures. Most dentists in this country provide private treatment and it is difficult to find a good National Health Service dentist. We are very very lucky. Our dentist also has private as well as NHS patients. Hope this helps.
Reply:The National Health Service used to have an extensive network of dentists but when the Government introduced new contracts in the early 1990's many of them decided to go private and charge patients for their services. The Government is now training and recruiting dentists in order to rebuild NHS provision.
