Have just been landed a heart-stopping quote for route canal treatment at my (private) dental surgery - £650 - £750....
In stark contrast, on ringing a couple of local NHS dental surgeries in my area, they charge £45 - 60 for the same treatment.
Is this a bit of a no-brainer? If I go NHS will it be like a scene from a Hammar-Horror movie? Is there a limit on how much anaesthetic they can administer?
I just can't believe how much private dentists cost. All advice/stories (not too scary, please!)on the difference between NHS and private treatment would be much appreciated.
