That's all I need, a cracked tooth! The dentist I'm registered with has gone private and is longer seeing NHS patients, under the NHS patients still have to pay for work but the fees are tiered - £27 (check up, xrays) £75 (extraction, filling) £326 (crowns, inlays, false teeth), going private you can triple these prices (that's excluding cosmetic work like implants and veneers) and more and more dental practices are going private and don't want NHS work, my dentist said the government don't pay him enough and the practice earns way more doing private work, this is making finding an NHS dentist harder and harder for people when the cost of living in the UK is getting stupid (some of the highest energy prices in the world while they pursue net zero, concreting over oil & gas wells, stopping North Sea drilling, closing down coal power stations etc)

Money doesn't buy happiness - but it stops you looking like a victorian peasant with a sucked in face because your teeth are knackered/missing.

Not saying I can't/won't get it sorted but for Brits already struggling with the cost of living, dental woes is just another kick in the teeth.

Picture not particularly relevant but funny 😂 Couldn't find the one of the guy with fake tan and a Gucci man bag 🧒👜🦷☀️
