Angry The Great Dentist RIP Off

My dentist decided that it was cheaper to sell up than to upgrade his practise and transfered his patients to the highest bidder. Fair enough, business is business, all about money. The dentists practise that I was being transferred to was the only one I have ever had a bad experience from, ( a gaping hole in my gum needing three stitches)
Anyway, time passes, and i start to get severe pain from one of my back teeth and evenually have to resort to phoning 'the dentists' for an appointment. The first one they offered me was in 4 months time , I explained, that as I had a big hole in my tooth i would appreciate a sooner appointment, so they gave me a date in 2 days time
I arrived, almost in time for my appointment and sat waitng for 45 mins , then went in to meet dr death . He spent 20 mins tapping my teeth and relaying information about missing teeth and fillings to the fit young assistant . He then asked me where the pain was coming from, I said "the big hole in my tooth"! "which tooth?" he replied in rather bad english! I pointed to it with my tongue, finger, thumb, and anything else i could fit in my mouth. eventually he got the message and proceeded to implant a 'temporary filling' and said that I should make an appointment to have a permanent fiiling. So off I trot back to reception where they tell me that this treatment would 'only' cosy me £16 sumat but I need to make an appointment for a permanent filling, so i did. 2 weels later, the pain subsided .
4 weeks later I arrived for my 'permanent treatment'. The same bloke that couldnt find the hole inmy tooth couldnt find the temporary filling he had put in , full of confidence now! I eventually get through to him where he had put the temp filling and he removed it, I sat there gripping the chair waiting for the 'NEEDLE' to come out . It didnt, he just dug the temp filling out and put sumat else in, no drilling at all hardly . I came out of there well chuffed, no 'NEEDLE' . But now I am sat here trying to type this in absolute agony, with the same tooth . Nearly £60 later I still have the same problem, and if I ring up for an appointment coz I am in pain, it will be another £16 odd for emergency treatment, then £44.60 for 'a permanent' fix.
FOR THE SAME TOOTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've only got three left
it's about time these robbing gets were brought in line, miss an appointment and you are struck off, turn up 15 mins late and they charge you for it, turn up on time and you have to wait 30 mins, why dont we get 30 mins knocked off our bill?

Here here . Just been to the dentist and fortunately he said i didn't need any work doing , great i thought , but he says , you really need to see the hygienist , so i go to see her and she prods about for 5 Min's and tells me i need some flossing brushes and they sell them at the reception . I need 2 sizes she says , so i pay £8 for those and £30 for the work and the £16.50 for the dentist , not bad to say their was nothing wrong

it's that time again
that same tooth has been giving me jip ever since, flaring up every now and then, woke up yesterday looking like baby elephant man, an abscess over THE tooth
So off I trot to the dentists, " can I have some antibiotics for this or do I need to see a dentist? "
"Sorry, you will have to see a dentist but it won't be today. Tomorrow morning at 8.45 is the earliest we can fit you in"
So I will be there, for this Greek bloke, ( I hope he has had English lessons since last time), to tell me I have a abscess. And I will get charged £16.50, and then have to pay whatever for the prescription

Not the Dentist's but true, a woman yesterday in the chemist with a £7-10p prescription told the chemist she had forgotten her purse and only had £2 on her, she asked if she could buy the medication over the counter, he said " Yes" and charged her 59p for it, where does the other £6-51p go if she had had her purse and handed over the £7-10P ?

The way i deal with my male dentist is to sit down and grab him by his manhood and say to him "we aint going to hurt eachother are we" .

Thumbs up Dentists

My dentist is great to me. Especially when she bends over me in that low cut blouse "phew" .
