the gp's obviously have more cop-on than to be giving out their expertise for free!And getting grief for no reason.
Also beyond the standard fee for a visit, if you require more treatment it's catered for in a hospital setting and cost isn't an issue. Unlike in a dental practice which doesn't recieve any state support.i'd say about half the posts are basic moans about price and the usual 'it's cheaper abroad' stuff.

And with that i'm gonna follow the gp's lead:)

Hi there,

I recently got a crown fitted before Christmas as a result of excessive sensitivity for a number of years, and after several white fillings on the tooth. - The dentist advised getting a crown as she said it would "sort out all those problems once and for all". However, there was a delay with the time it took to get the real crown as it had to be sent back to get reshaped due to it fitting incorrectly. As a result, the dentist said that the temporary crown may have slightly altered how my gum sat against the new crown when I got it about 5 weeks later.

The main problem Im having is that there is still an immense amount of pain any time something cold hits the tooth or when I bit on it still, and the dentist told me I may have to get root canal done on it. I paid 750 for my crown under the belief it would work as she said it would, and never told me of the risk attached, i.e. not working.

If I need root canal, does anyone know if its fair to have to pay extra for this dentist to do it? Is there relevant legislation I can argue if they demand me to pay for a root canal as the crown is effectively useless...

Thanks in advance for your reply.

And I'm new to boards so if ive posted in the wrong forum etc., apologies.
