I want to make an appointment with a dentist and get examined.
I looked at the NHs website to find dentists. But none of them accept NHs patients... Now I have called 20 different dentists, and NONE of them accepts new patients, they all say that I need to pay privately.
I just don't get it. I pay taxes for the National Health Service. And am I expected to pay for private medical care if I want to be regularly examined by a dentist?
I don't mind paying £20 to the NHS. But I paid 70 pounds privately... for which, I assume, a 15-minute meeting is scheduled.... no way.
How can I get treatment from an NHS dentist??

That’s really strange. It should work like that. For the most of my life, I did not care about my teeth since I had no problems. But three months ago I decided to visit the dentist and when he told me about my teeth condition I was shocked. I spent tons of money during that time, and two days ago, I finally got an aligner from https://smiledoctors.com/treatment/invisalign-aligners/ [smiledoctors.com].  It’s really comfortable and effective

Try contacting your local NHS authority directly. They might have advice on available practices or waitlists. Also, some areas have urgent care clinics or dental schools where you might be able to get treatment at a lower cost.

It can be really frustrating trying to find an NHS dentist, especially after paying taxes and being turned away. I faced a similar situation a few years back and ended up needing to pay privately for dental work. I had a hard time finding an NHS spot and had to see a private dentist, which was a surprise and quite a hit to the wallet.One thing that helped me was asking for recommendations from friends and family. They pointed me to a local practice that had an NHS option available. Another tip is to keep checking online or calling different practices, as availability can change.If you’re open to exploring other options, there are also places like https://jeffreygrossdds.com/services/implant-dentistry-lake-county-ohio/ [jeffreygrossdds.com] that provide various dental services and might offer different pricing structures or advice.
