Mark, the procedure is detailed in the post at the top. Remember the process is different depending on whether your treatment was NHS or private.

I have 2 back molars missing from my mouth, im in no pain and the roots are still in. They have been this way for many many years, after hearing that I could get some bridges for £204 I jumpped at the idea and found a local NHS dentist. I just returned from an appointment 30 mins ago where I was informed I need “8 units” with a cost of £380 per unit! Private treatment!!?!!

Why when it clearly states on the NHS website that bridges are part of band 3 am I being told I need to go private? Is there a limit on how many “units” can be done on the NHS?>

It seems that these NHS dentists are just cashing in on opportunities to make a quick buck!?!

I had a tooth removed 7 weeks ago by a new dentist,the tooth had broken but there was no sign of infection.after 3 days I was in severe pain and returned to the dentist who said I had an infection and gave me 5 days of anti biotics.After completeing this course the pain returned with swelling I visited an emergency dentist who said I did not need further antibiotics but put a dressing into the cavity-the next day the pain was even more severe so again my own dentist gave me more antibiotics-still no cure and now had eye pain and faciel swelling-given more antibiotics by a GP who thought I now had a related sinus infection-3 days later symptoms and pain still worsening so returned to dentist but was seen by a different dentist-he did an x ray and said it was “fine” also said “that looks sore but don’t know what it is-come back in 2 days!” I then attended Birmingham Dental Hospital who were just FANTASTIC-they did xrays and said I had a large pocket of infection and gave me different antibiotics.I retured there 2 weeks later and had to have one and a half hours of surgery by a maxfax surgeon.He found that a part of the tooth/root had been left behind and had caused a severe infection.You cannot imagine the pain I have been through in the past 8 weeks and have had to have 2 weeks off work.What can or should I do about the treatment I received from the dentist?

Not sure what anyone can do to help you if you don’t want to go back to your dentist and tell him about your problem.

Appears to be seriously unimpressive treatment!

My son in my view required a filling – he had his 6 month check up – no work carried out – hole in tooth bigger and just before next appointment got infection got medicine from doctors as not able to get into dentists – next visit still had lump around tooth but was told this was ok and no work needed and that would be seen in 6 months – few weeks later face swells like a balloon – ring and asked to been seen by another dentist – now told that this tooth can not be saved and needs to be removed – surely this should of been filled way back. I too am having problems xrays taken Jan, May and yesterday upper right 4 front fell off – cracked and exposed root canal work – surely this damage should of been spotted in the xrays? And the temp filling that I had yesterday morning was very temp – fell off this morning – have had another one this afternoon – lets see how long this one lasts!!
