[BNM] [OT] Dentist recommendation

[Nick Wilsdon]

"If you are having difficulty finding an NHS dentist because of a shortage
in your area, please be assured your PCT is working hard to ensure you have
access to dental services as soon as possible.

If a dentist moves, closes down a practice or reduces the amount of NHS
dentistry he or she provides, the money to provide this service will remain
with your PCT for reinvestment in NHS dentistry for the local community."

Hmm sounds like they have sorted that one then. Even if all the dentists
leave the NHS because they get better money doing private work you can rest
assured that that money is being kept safely for reinvestment in
err...finding dentists.

One thing I like about Russia, at least I can walk in the private dentists
anytime I like and have the best treatment I've ever had for around £10.
I've been doing it once every 3 months. First time in my life I've actually
been able to use these sort of services regularly enough to make a
difference.

Check the NHS web site - the rules changed in April and now,  put
simply, there's no such thing as "registering with an NHS dentist" -
it's all explained on the site.
