    No, I think dentistry is under provided for in the private sector which is driving costs up.
    I thought that was quite obvious from my posts.

    Why is dive getting so many thumbs down in this thread? Sure he voted brexit but all the hate is a little uncalled for.

    Went to the dentist while I was in Colombia... replaced 5 silver fillings for the white stuff, a couple of cleaning things which cost about £500, not super cheap but a really good job with good materials.

    Ever heard of "price fixing, and gouging the public" ? and NO there is not a shortage of dentists in California.

    If you have a legitimate complaint of private sector price fixing then you need to do something more constructive about it rather than whingeing on a chess website chat forum.

    Dive, like yourself and me have people who don't like what we have to say, as we are not always politically correct, we all have our own opinions about things and aren't afraid to speak them even if it goes against the popular opinion. Even a thumbs down shows people are paying attention to what you are saying! 😉

    You are wrong the British use whinging all the time. I believe the Australians also use it.

    BTW: I'd pull the tooth for free with a pair of pliers. 😉
