My ds went to the dentist yesterday as has had a problem with a wisdom tooth coming through. I paid £45 for the checkup and an Xray which I was a bit surprised about as I thought children's dental care was free, but the receptionist said that as they're a private dentist, it was to be paid for.
Fair enough, but he needs to have both wisdom teeth removed, I think she said about £100 or so.
Does anyone know if this is definitely payable, and also does anyone know if it's a really painful process? DH has just done a demo of three people holding him down when he had it done and the dentist bracing his foot against the chair to yank his tooth out which didn't exactly reassure ds
