How much does it cost to have a tooth capped on the nhs ??

[mummyloveslucy]

Hi, one of my front teeth is becoming discoloured as the tooth was actually killed by an abcess 5 years ago.
I'd like to have it capped in time for my sisters wedding.
I'm not sure how much it'd cost and can you pay in installments ?

its 3rd tier i think and that covers all your treatment but its £198 i think.....

AFAIK you can arrange a payment plan. My front teeth are all crowned for the same reason. Fortunately I had maternity exemption at the time

take a look at this?

better link

We are trying for a baby! should I wait then ?
I didn't know if capping would be covered by this. I hope so.

I've heared you can't have anasthetic if your pregnant though. [Eeek]

I think I'd rather pay.

I had a gold one put in last year, cost me £245 and i've had to go back twice when it fel off.

Did they make yo u pay to have it poot back again?

Yep. I was furious.

you can't have treatment whilst pg, but as soon as your baby's born go for a free dental-fest I did, and recommend it!

They just wouldn't treat me then ...

herbie it was similar treatment to the stuff mll is describing y'see, which could in some ways be viewed as 'cosmetic' rather than 'essential' - although I got mine because I have a syndrome affecting my jaw etc, thus have had lots of surgery. Am no expert
