How likely is it that dentists could give a filling that isn't really needed? I just wonder because when I had a check-up 6 months ago, my teeth were fine, but on my check up last week (with a new dental practice) I was told I have two really terrible cavities that need filling urgently at a total cost of £125! I can't see what's changed in the last 6 months.
They also want to charge £49 for a visit to the Hygienist.
It is supposedly an NHS Practice. Are these charges about right?
