State of it Greedy nhs dentists

Is all the dentists in newry greedy bstrds or just the few? Tried joining couple and they said they are not taking on NHS patients at the moment and only doing private treatments, also if you check their reviews a lot of southerners positive reviewing about the cost but locals also. Seems care and compassion is lacking with some of these dentists and they are chasing the money instead. It's a worrying thing that you go to see a doctor and the doctors main interest is how to get money out of you rather than give safe and long term treatment.

I would not say it’s about care and compassion.

Dentistry Businesses run on extremely tight margins. NHS patients unfortunately are basically a loss to them in high numbers.

That shouldn’t be our problem but that’s the situation they are in.

I faced the same problem and had to go private. The dentists I chose is top class and I’m happy I went there. But it’s pricey

It is, it's privatization by the backdoor me thinks just as it is with all the nhs at the moment
