free dental care for kids with a private dentist

[atah]

Lots of people tell me they don't pay for their kids dental care even though they see a private dentist, my dentist charges to treat my kids and my previous dentist did too (at a different surgery).

Just wondered what the norm is and am I being ripped off?

they do enjoy it don't they?
I can't bear to pay now that I know I don't need to, so my mission is to find one who treats kids free - without the torture!

yes it does vary. my dd goes to a private dentist who was advertising nhs treatment for childre. sadly i can't go there and have to go to the local rubbish nhs place where they enjoy torturing you!!!

Sounds like you have the best of both worlds, sadly mine doesn't do NHS at all

I think I need to find a new dentist - private/NHS dentist with lvelly calming manner in Notting Hill can anyone recommend please?

Each dentist makes their own decision

Mine (private) only does NHS kids for his fee paying clients
