    I believe that many dentists no longer recognise medical cards, is this true and why? I believe the same thing happened in the UK. Also prescriptions are not covered by same. I knew someone that had to get his local assigned GP to reissue dental prescriptions because the chemist refused to accept dental prescriptions that were not covered by his medical card.

    Sounds bad

    saw a documentry where in the UK people with urgent needs for dentist like bad tooth whatever were on 6 month waiting list
    So the only solution was to extract the tooth with thier won tools like a pliers and no pain killers

    Some of them even put the self extraction on you tube

    The regime that is here in ROI is probaly not far behind these mega fachists in the UK

    Soon threads might be any ideas on how to do self extraction of teeth :eek:

    I am so disapointed that the UK Labour party is allowing this

    Hopefully when I vote ROI Labour they wont let this happen if they get into power

    Cheapest good place to get teeth done paying for it is I think Poland via ryan air

    Hungary is more costly for dental stuff but a reputly good place

    Failing that over the border paying private will save you 50% easily
