At the beginning of Aug 2011 I had an abscess in my mouth, I had an emergency appointment which I was charges £17 plus script charges, a week later I went again for a check up charged £17 and referred to another dentist to have the teeth removed via sleep dentistry , two weeks later I had to have another emergency appointment as the abscess had flarred up again( still waiting for appointment to the referred dentist) I was again charged £17, I was asked if I had an appointment for the extraction which they chased up for me. Last week I went to the dentist who was doing the extraction charged £17 extraction date mid November. So far it has cost me £64 and the offending tooth is still in my mouth,and today my abscess feels as though its flarring up again, so it looks like another £17 and script . Am I the idiot here or is this how its done now, from my first appoinment to the day its extracted it will be 15 weeks. Before you ask yes I have asked can't it be done any earlier, the answer no available appointments.
