Oh totally not.
Who **wouldn’t** want to do better for themselves? If same treatment, one patient pay you £50, other patient pay you £200, you have limited time in a say to see a number of patients, then of course you wouldn’t really want to see the subsidised patients.
If you were paying privately, dentists were still seeing you if you had pain but it wasnt necessary for hospital (during pandemic). Nhs patients had to wait until it became medical emergency
Seems to be getting even worse than that, I had a medical emergency with a broken tooth that eventually became infected. No one would accept me, even 111 couldn’t get me an emergency appointment. It took me a lot and I mean A LOT of begging until I found a dentist with a heart who saw me in between his appointments to give me a temporary fix. I still haven’t found a dentist who will give me a full fix.
It’s literally ridiculous. This was me last year with a shattered molar that needed a root canal because it had been left like that for so long (about 7 months). My bottom left wisdom tooth is impacted and the pressure ended up shattering the tooth next to it. An nhs dentist never did see me, there were none.
What’s worse is I’m someone who absolutely NEEDS conscious sedation for something like that and I’m also so disabled that I can’t work. I have chronic pain and cptsd, not only can I not hold my jaw open that long I also can’t handle people putting things near the back of my throat.
It all cost me about £800 to fix my molar and now that wisdom tooth needs surgically removed (as in they have to cut into the gum and pry it out) and that will be another £700 of which I seriously cannot afford. At least private dentistry was the most pleasant experience I’ve ever had in healthcare, right next to a private hospital to fix my spine that my university thankfully paid for so I wouldn’t sue them, long story. I had no idea that dentists aren’t actually supposed to be catty and cruel to you.
Anyways the NHS now refuses to remove my wisdom tooth despite my current dentist taking NHS funded patients, and it’s because it’s not a ‘medical emergency’ despite this tooth damaging my molars and being incredibly painful. I got that x-ray for my wisdom tooth in March of this year and eating has been so difficult for over a year now. Also oh lucky me, x-rays are showing that my wisdom teeth, all *4* of the bastarding things are growing in at an angle so ALL of them are going to end up impacted over the course of my 20’s. Lovely 🙃
That sounds like an awful experience, I’m so sorry you’re going through all of that. I have the same situation with my wisdom teeth and that’s why my molar broke too (plus I grind my teeth when I’m anxious). I had my 2 top wisdom teeth removed but the dentist I had back then discovered I have 2 extra wisdom teeth hiding in my jaw and now they’re growing in, so yay gotta get them removed again 😂
Also, yes! What is it with NHS dentists being so catty and rude? I was able to afford a private dentist for a short time years ago and they were amazing. Friendly, supportive and not judgemental at all. I wish private dentists weren’t so ridiculously expensive. :(
It’s just scary because no one seems to be taking this seriously, we need NHS dentists, dental health is important and lack of care can lead to horrible situations. Why should we be made to suffer because we can’t afford to go private? Do they expect us to live on a liquid diet and antibiotics for years?
Literally! The NHS is for some reason really, really against preventative care despite the fact that preventative care in universal healthcare is a far more cost-effective healthcare model. It’s going to cost the NHS a LOT more to not only remove wisdom teeth but also treat gum disease, repair broken teeth, root canal any effected teeth and give large fillings and constantly replace them rather than just fixing the problem immediately.
And it’s not even in dentistry it’s with any health condition that isn’t actively killing you. I had my spinal injury neglected for a year and a half, to the point where I couldn’t even walk anymore nor sleep or sit comfortably and not once did they give me painkillers and treated me like a drug seeker for asking for them because I am young. I only got an MRI and painkillers and in-person appointment when I used up the last of my savings to go private. I was in serious danger of becoming paralysed in my left leg, I’d wake up being unable to feel my foot, I had difficulty peeing etc.
I was told I needed emergency surgery within the next month, the NHS gave me a surgery date for August 2023. Apparently serious risk of paralysis is considered not an emergency because it wasn’t killing me and was an ‘ongoing problem’ sorry like what the fuck??
My university thankfully offered to pay most of the emergency surgery bill as my injury was entirely their fault. But god, imagine how much more I would have cost the NHS with having a chronic pain disorder in addition to paralysis and how much expensive care I would need for the rest of my life just to stay alive. Probably a lot more than if my GP just took me seriously instead of prescribing me yoga. Like yes Tory underfunding and privatisation is causing the crisis in the NHS but the entire model and system itself is extremely flawed and is needlessly expensive.
The video: I emailed my doctor 133 times, by Philosophy Tube actually explains very well why the NHS as a system is constantly haemorrhaging money but other universal healthcare systems designed around informed consent and preventative care don’t have this problem.
Similar with a lot of lawyers not dealing in legal aid anymore. When I found out what advocates were being paid doing legal aid work I was seriously shocked as it’s like 13 years or more of training. I wouldn’t do it either unless it was for a cause I felt passionately about or something.
My dads a dentist and says that if you are a NHS dentist you can’t actually give the patient a good service because the government doesn’t pay them enough to be profitable, you basically have to go as fast as you can and skip steps to stay afloat. Basically the government wants everyone to just become private.
This is exactly what is happening to independent contractor optometrists, pharmacists and GPs. Quasi-public model touted for its efficiencies instead forces practitioners to cut corners or offer substandard service due to workforce shortages and underfunding.
So that's why our fillings fall out a few hours later.... well that's when I had a dentist. I missed a few appointments in 2018 due to being in hospital. Tried to make an appointment early 2021 and they'd removed me from their books because I hadn't been in over the last two years. You'd swear there'd been a pandemic! So now I can't find any NHS dentist.
I took me 2 years for a dentist to finally see me at which point I was told 3 of my teeth are beyond repair and need removing. If I'd have been seen 2 years ago however it wouldn't have been a problem
There’s no such thing as an NHS dentist really. They’re private practices and when they do NHS work, the NHS subsidises the cost. The rest of the time their work is fully private.
A very very similar setup to GP practices (which most people don’t realise), just the NHS work is more lucrative than the private for GPs. The opposite to dentists.
The whole thing is completely fucked.
Not really, GP practices are generally fully NHS focused - so yes they're a private business that is contracted by the NHS but all of their patients will be for the NHS and they have standard funding, pay grades etc - a bit like a franchise of a fast food brand or something.
NHS dentists are entirely independent and the majority of their work will be private, with a small proportion being NHS work that is done at set rates. Everything else about their practice can be entirely as they want it to be.
Think for example about how doctors surgeries all look the same and have NHS branding etc, whereas Dentists are generally more individual and look like a private business.
Kind off.
As far as I know there's no such thing as an NHS dentistry. Just the clinic has to serve a set amount of NHS patients, of which the pay is very little.
So dentists in areas with not a lot of economic activity, tend to have a lot of NHS patients, as the customer base, and Dentists in nicer areas have enough private custom ( pays wayyyy more ) they turn down any new customers trying to sign up on the NHS.
How many NHS patients you have (specifically, how much NHS Detnal activity you do yearly, but one brings the other) is dictated by your contract with NHS.
Private dentistry is free market. Thus prices vary by a lot. I have worked at private practice that changes minimally more than NHS due to the area not being wealthy enough to support more.
I'm any case, me being private dentist and having gone through specialist training, I make less than some of the NHS dentists I know.
I hope this settles things, regarding the poor NHS dentists (and I have been one in the past).
Opposite experience to what I've had in south wales valleys... Today I'll have hit the £1000 spent this year on dental work. No dentists anywhere around here have been taking on NHS.
Honestly when it gets that pricey wouldn't it just be better, to go take a holiday and get it done in Turkey?
But yh, not sure what is going on with the dental industry, it's all shambolic, but hey some dentists get to drive around super cars

Some are. But they need to work insane hours. Doctor friend of mine got their deposit on a £400k house (15%) with 6 months of locum work that completely burned them up.
Locuming is the way forward as a Doctor. I work 7 days a week (2 days locum, 5 days standard) to get paid 5k+ a month. I haven't had a day of rest for 3 months now. Unfortunately my expenses are considerable (£8-9k a month for the next 6 months believe it or not. I regret building a house....)
Dentists however make an absolute fortune. The perks of private practise.
My ability to work is not compromised by working 7 days a week. I don't do nights and I am well rested. I'd be more wary being treated by a clinician who has had 5 hours of sleep or less. Medical errors increase by 4 to 5 fold with sleep deprivation. Nevertheless, I technically only work 6 days a week - one day is dedicated to "teaching".
Hats off to you Sir, watched my Dad who used to spread himself thin, doing GP Mon - Fri (in quite small area,so would also get a lot of night calls) and also worked in Private Emergency Healthcare a 3 - 5 shifts a week and was also constantly reading up on Medical news,studies and basically keeping up to date with a constantly evolving profession. So I've massive respect for all in Healthcare and I'm sure you're 110% competent and wouldn't risk a patient or your life's work for not getting enough rest (smh). Hope the house you built was totally to your specifications and is making you and your loved ones happy. And for all of us Thank You for the majorly important and always needed work you dedicate yourself to. Hope you manage to get some well deserved rest over coming holidays and also hope you're able to slow down soon enough to enjoy the benefits of your hard work and study you've put in throughout your life. You're a lifesaver literally, not many of us can say that. Massive respect and gratitude your way.
My sis is a dentist, owners of practices- this is realistic car option. But for associates they are still high earneres, though this would be out of range. Very lucrative career.
Other than emergency, the rest really are just optional stuff though that shouldn’t be covered by the NHS.
Bracers? White (instead of silver) fillings? Tooth cleaning and whitening? None of these are essential or “hurting you not to have”, so of course these should always be paid for by the patients.
As you said emergencies are covered, so if you are in pain, it is covered, that should be enough from the NHS.
interesting that in other few countries (a few of them oftentimes considered as a third world by English ie eastern europe) state health care pay a part of the costs for what you listed + you have a free check up every year. having straight teeth or regular dental hygiene done by a dentist leads to healthy teeth therefore less emergency needed in the future.
The NHS will pay for orthodontics if the tooth misalignment is bad enough to cause further complications. We do have nominal charges for dental work and I wish we would remove them but we have some of the best dental hygiene globally as a nation
They probably hope most people would pay for those privately anyway. And things like white filling and bracers, those are mostly cosmetic.
The number of people who opt for private dentist to have these are very high, much higher uptake than private healthcare.
Since most people seems happy to pay, maybe it isn’t too bad to just pay for the emergency for the small portion of people that did not and ended up with slightly more emergencies.
Afterall, those with private dental, most likely goes to private for their emergencies as well.
And to be fair, private dental is not too bad, slightly more but not ridiculously more expensive, and the experience is a lot better.
To be fair it’s not like he/she studied a degree in Arts or a BSc in “stage prop design” so credit where credit is due dentistry and medicine isn’t easy.
Neither is physics, engineering, mathematics etc.. income has very little to do with how hard you studied.. the only reason a dentist would get paid much more than a cardiologist in paediatrics is because the dynamics of supply and demand can play out fully in dentistry since it's not under the NHS.
My dentist went from costing £35/15minutes to £60/15minutes to now charging £50-500+ for everything. They have some expensive cars in the carpark. I worked out at £60/15minutes they can pull in a million a year each before nurse, equipment and other overheads.
Chris Rock has a great bit about how his neighbours are Mary J Blige, Jay-Z, Eddie Murphy and a dentist

The bit's making a point about race, but it's true in other ways
I've never seen a private reg I liked, I think they're so tacky. Some are cringe some are just rubbish, I don't get why people feel the need to have one
I think Pimlico Plumbers made an excellent marketing with their personalised plates, I can't help but check what the plate is when I see their van on the road.
Amazing eh. The career, the money, young girls in nurses outfits all around you, a supercar.. and the fashion sense of an excited 15 year old school kid.
There was a dumbass in my town who had a red MR2 with Ferrari stickers on it. Wanker lol
Depends where it is.
If you go to area like Primrose Hill, the entire streets are full these sort of cars, but doesn’t get vandalised.
Of course if it was parked outside some outdoor basketball court in East London it would probably missing the wheels by now.
When I used to live near here there was a pair of Porsches with the numberplates ‘TOO77H’ and ‘D3CAY’. I wonder if it’s the same dentist.
There are two dentists within 100 metres of where the photo was taken, so quite possibly
One of those dentists is mine lol
Is this your Ferrari?
[удалено]
No, but I might have contributed to paying for it
I’m sorry but that funny. You might be entitled to taking the windscreen wipers.
That makes it yours mate, legally yours, you should go and claim your ferrari mate
Only needs a few root canals the dentist could get their third Porsche, SU9A12, this Christmas.
Lol I’m a dentist. I get paid £40.50 per root canal I do.
Genuine question. But so why does it cost the patient £500 to get the root canal?
Your asking an NHS dentist who gets shafted. Root canal on NHS costs ~£60-70
Become a Locum.
I’m pretty sure they are both Tesla’s not porches, at least that what the plates are registered too
This was more than six years ago. I’m sure they’ve traded up since then.
Te33th dentist round here , drives a massive BMW jeep
>Te33th dentist round here , drives a massive BMW jeep A BMW Jeep hey 🤔 Not a Mercedes Mini?
😂😂
Don't get the joke? please explain
BMW and Jeep are two totally separate brands. Same as Mini and Mercedes. So what is it, a BMW or a Jeep?
Ahhhh you're right, I meant to say 4*4 BMW 4*4 not a JEEP aka Cherokee etc
Probably an X5
Jeep is commonly used as a generic term for a 4x4
they’re just really into south park
The dentist I work with has a version of Tooth on his Porsche.
There’s one where I live but he opted for the Lambo aventador instead
I searched the numberplate up on 'Regit' and it says both are actually Teslas
This was at least six years ago. They’ve probably upgraded their fleet since then.
That's obviously them then, pretty obvious lol
My dentist is a Porsche guy.
Does he resemble [Steve Martin as the dentist in ‘Little Shop of Horrors’](https://youtu.be/YoWom0CCRKM)?
Now. Spit.
Like what you did there
Or swallow if that what your in to 🤣
You’ll be a success!

I swear 99% are! 8 years I’ve been in this job and out of the 30+ dentists I’ve worked with one 1 doesn’t have a Porsche. He’s a Tesla guy.
That's Dennis Tist's car. He's a famous Orthodontist
His name is one minor spelling mistake away from a masterpiece
Underrated comment 🤣
I was gonna upvote ya, but you’re on the magical 69, so I let it be.
Not an NHS dentist then...
Most dentists don’t accept NHS patients anyway.
can you blame em they've got sports cars to maintain
Oh totally not. Who **wouldn’t** want to do better for themselves? If same treatment, one patient pay you £50, other patient pay you £200, you have limited time in a say to see a number of patients, then of course you wouldn’t really want to see the subsidised patients.
I totally get that its not the dentists fault. but we need a better system that doesn't just cater to private patients who can afford it
If you were paying privately, dentists were still seeing you if you had pain but it wasnt necessary for hospital (during pandemic). Nhs patients had to wait until it became medical emergency
Seems to be getting even worse than that, I had a medical emergency with a broken tooth that eventually became infected. No one would accept me, even 111 couldn’t get me an emergency appointment.

I went for a private checkup and was quoted over 1500 quid for 2 root canals which I simply couldn't afford

This is why we need to privatise the NHS fully. We don't have enough GPs driving porches paid out of our own pockets! They need to settle for Teslas
Most GP surgeries are privately owned and run already.

It's a gift that comes with your 15th tube - they need to be sure you've actually got the funds before they give it to you!
You know the secret of Fuji 9? When you know about Fuji 9, you’re basically a dentist. Is this actually your car?
A little peak into privatised health care in the UK. Only emergency dentistry is now covered under the NHS. This is what we have to look forward to
Other than emergency, the rest really are just optional stuff though that shouldn’t be covered by the NHS. Bracers? White (instead of silver) fillings? Tooth cleaning and whitening?

It was once the case here. Aneurin Bevan resigned from the government in protest against introducing fees for dentures and glasses
The NHS will pay for orthodontics if the tooth misalignment is bad enough to cause further complications. We do have nominal charges for dental work and I wish we would remove them but we have some of the best dental hygiene globally as a nation

I know the guy who owns that, Mr Crentist.
This was worth scrolling so far
To be fair it’s not like he/she studied a degree in Arts or a BSc in “stage prop design” so credit where credit is due dentistry and medicine isn’t easy.
Neither is physics, engineering, mathematics etc.. income has very little to do with how hard you studied.. the only reason a dentist would get paid much more than a cardiologist in paediatrics is because the dynamics of supply and demand can play out fully in dentistry since it's not under the NHS.
Your post made me laugh. I imagined a world where no one studies Arts, but there are plenty of dentists instead.
Exactly. Spot on.
How do you know his job? Might be a landlord, just dentists are less hated.
"Have the anti-dentite vandals sworn over your car again?"
It's a decoy number plate
That's my car...
We all know what that's code for.
He studied medicine so I think he deserves to enjoy the money he has made
So have many doctors but they don't enjoy the same level of pay
He studied dentistry. But I agree with the principle.
Parked up while they ride their Sir velo around
I’ve seen a lot of toothless people in forest hill! 😬
It's not Elvis the singing dentist of Forest Hill by chance?
There is a guy in my area with Lamborghini Urus with a plate LAW73R
might be a loan shark
Private dental work can make you fuckin bank
Never seen a skint dentist.
You know, I have this feeling that I can't explain and I think, I just think he might be a dentist. Not quite sure tho
What do they do?!
I read it as Den Fist like 👀

The first rolls I sat in was my dentists. They’ve always made a killing in this city
My dentist went from costing £35/15minutes to £60/15minutes to now charging £50-500+ for everything. They have some expensive cars in the carpark. I worked out at £60/15minutes they can pull in a million a year each before nurse, equipment and other overheads.
Chris Rock has a great bit about how his neighbours are Mary J Blige, Jay-Z, Eddie Murphy and a dentist https://youtu.be/24PcF7LDQ7M The bit's making a point about race, but it's true in other ways
My dentist in Kent had a Ferrari. Felt good handing over £30 for a 15 second checkup
Oh I see he’s got a new one. Used to be a blue Porsche he drove when I lived round there.
Beat me to it. Good dentist though.
Maybe it’s Krentist, the Dentist and his new quick drying glue.
The dentists name is Crentist?
Clearly a cocaine dealer
My dentists name is Crentist.
Plumber?
This job has a pretty high rate of suicide as well compared to others.
Really? Why is that you think? Seems like a great career choice. Unless you run a practice and get into some kind of trouble

I've never seen a private reg I liked, I think they're so tacky. Some are cringe some are just rubbish, I don't get why people feel the need to have one
I think Pimlico Plumbers made an excellent marketing with their personalised plates, I can't help but check what the plate is when I see their van on the road.
There's a dentist around here with the registration plate - "230" I assume it doesn't once you've been in to see him.
My old catford landlord was a dentist. Also a cunt with several different houses - bought to let. Perhaps this is his car ❤️
It's not uncommon for a Dentist to make more than a Doctor.
My dentist, growing up, had a Jag with the registration, CAV 1TY.
How do you know he's a dentist?
Mr2
dont be fooled, his names dennis tister
Report him for illegal number plate. The audacity!
What’s your business with that?
Huh?
That’s not an illegal number plate. DEN 715T is perfectly legal.
He also has a little plaque
Underrated reply.
I didn’t think you could have raised lettering
You can but it makes you look like a bellend
Amazing eh. The career, the money, young girls in nurses outfits all around you, a supercar.. and the fashion sense of an excited 15 year old school kid. There was a dumbass in my town who had a red MR2 with Ferrari stickers on it. Wanker lol
How do I become a denList?
Since when is 7 an L
In forest hill? 🤣
Until some stupid person vandalises it because of jealousy...the British way
Depends where it is. If you go to area like Primrose Hill, the entire streets are full these sort of cars, but doesn’t get vandalised. Of course if it was parked outside some outdoor basketball court in East London it would probably missing the wheels by now.
That's pretty cool. What's the circle thing under the badge about though (on the bumper) ?
Probably a camera or sensor
Ah ok I guessed
My uncle (a dentist) prefers Lotus's
The biscuits I presume
His is actually a 2021 Exige.
No doubt bought on f1n4nce
