I’ve been lucky inasmuch as I’ve always had an NHS dentist. Or at least I did up until Covid when the surgery that I was with folded. Since then I’ve had no treatment and have lost two fillings. My mouth seems ‘stable’ if such a thing can be said- there’s no pain, infection etc that I’m aware of. I’m 62, male, living in Wales. I don’t think that I have septic breath!
I’ve been offered a plan from what was my surgery who now seem to have gone private, here:
“The plan focuses on prevention and maintenance and includes:
2 x Dental Health examinations per year
2 x Dental Hygiene appointments per year
Xray’s as clinically necessary
10% discount off private treatments
Eligibility to request assistance from the Worldwide Dental Emergency Scheme more details at https://www.scheme.wdeas.co.uk”
The blurb is here:https://signup.practiceplan.co.uk/Patient/Home/D5JD83
Interestingly (worryingly??) when trying to find prices for work required beyond what is included I only draw a blank but I might have missed it somewhere.
I have no idea if this plan/ offer is good, bad or indifferent. Cost is £17.85 pcm just for a poke about and a buff and polish it seems. I’ll know a bit more tomorrow after I’ve called in to the surgery.
I want to keep my teeth in my head, I really do.
So- advice please if you will. Cheers, Ambrose
