    Folks

    Is there anything in dental ethics codes that would stop a dentist bartering for services, i.e. providing 'free' dentistry to someone in exchange for other business related services?

    No but the Revenue would have something to say about it...

    And has the potential to be a very awkward conversation.

    I once gave a retired baker €5 off a denture repair because he made me an apple tart
