I had toothache and made an appointment at my dentists, my regular dentist wasn't available so saw another one. He took an xray and said I needed root canal treatment and to make another appointment with my regular dentist. I was charged £17 for this appointment. I then saw my regular dentist who looked at the xray and said she would do the root canal treatment as band c (£204). well it all went a bit wrong and its resulted in having my tooth out and a denture! but my grievance is that I am having to pay two charges for treatment on the same tooth totalling £211. Surely the initial xray was used as part of the treatment of the tooth? Also the denture doesn't fit properly so I have another appointment in two weeks time to check the fit but have been told I have to pay for all of my treatment now. Do I have to do this? any advice would be gratefully received.
