I had an extraction earlier, rearmost tooth on top left, had grown too long due to not having a mate in the bottom and was starting to cause gum pain at times.
Extraction itself was very straightforward and completely painless, including the local anaesthetic. I’ve been with the same dentist (Driller to friends) my whole life and know him well, he used to play keyboard in my uncle’s band……
He sold out to a national firm a few years ago but still works at the practice 3 or 4 days a week, I stay with him as he’s always been good, did my crowns (biking accident – front teeth aged 10), and knows my dental history without consulting the records. But I never know if it’s NHS, private, part NHS, or what the score is these days.
Anyway , I got to reception after the extraction, had been in the consulting room no more than 15 minutes – £150!
