My teeth are not in a good state. I have been going to the dentist for a while - when I first went they said I needed too much doing to be able to be an NHS patient and that I had to be private for them to be able to do the work.
At the time I was working and had dental insurance through work so was able to claim most of it back. Now I'm not working so the cost of it seems rather more.
I was wondering if (a) dentists generally won't take you as an NHS patient if your teeth are in a mess ie you need lots doing and (b) if not can I somehow find an NHS dentist to keep doing the work for me? My children go to the same dentist as me, but I presume I could transfer them as well.
Thank you
