Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / April 2005UK dentists help me out - Wisdom tooth removal
Hi I have a wisdom tooth that I want/need taken out - i am on a NHS dentist and he sent me to the hospital to have it taken out as he could not do it - i waited like 5 months and missed my appointment so now i need to wait again!! i am wondering if i can pay and have it done privatley at another dentist? what kind of procedures can they do - and perhaps my own dentist can do it privatley? he didnt mention this before tho... my wisdom tooth it out, but at an angle - he did say i could have it done udner local anasthetic so i am hoping its not a brutal procedure that can be done at other dentists... BUPA charge ?1000+ - how much am i looking at at a local dentist (hampshire) thanks >Hi >I have a wisdom tooth that I want/need taken out - i am on a NHS dentist Ahemmmmmm!

One of them was at an angle so it took a long time. I think the hard part was having your mouth open so wide for so long. If you have to pay your own dentis a fortune, you might look into taking a trip to India or Thailand and take advantage of the low prices there. > Hi > I have a wisdom tooth that I want/need taken out - i am on a NHS dentist and [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > BUPA charge £1000+ - how much am i looking at at a local dentist (hampshire) > thanks >Few years ago I watch the local dentist pull out all my wife's wisdom >teeth.

British students come to Prague for weekends to get drunk. (I think they call it "stag parties"). My father just told me there are new charter flights from London to Brno, 2.5 hours... European union is a good thing :) > >> Hi > >> I have a wisdom tooth that I want/need taken out - i am on a NHS [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >> > >> thanks > Czech republic is much closer, you can get from London to Prague in > about two hours and less than 100?, afaik.

A Stag party is usually the last chance for a man to get drunk with his friends before he gets married - and the beer in the Czech Republic is very good! I hope you also get visitors who come for the culture and to meet the peoplel. I visited the Czech Republic for a international model aircraft competition in 1996. The competition was at Benesov Airfield not so far from Konopiste Chateau. http://www.zamky-hrady.cz/1/konopiste-e.htm The competition was great and the local people were very friendly. I would love to visit again some time. The original poster may like to know that there are flights from Southampton to Prague.... or he could come here to Belgium. Jump on the Eurostar and find an English speaking dentist in Brussels. > > Czech republic is much closer, you can get from London to Prague in > > about two hours and less than 100?, afaik.

I wonder how expensive has to be beer around Europe, when it is affordable for many people to come to Prague for weekend to get drunk :) > I hope you also get visitors who come for the culture and to meet the > peoplel.

Why not, Europe is kinda small, you can get here in few hours :) > The original poster may like to know that there are flights from Southampton > to Prague.... or he could come here to Belgium. Jump on the Eurostar and > find an English speaking dentist in Brussels. Question is, if Belgic dentists aren't as expensive as English ones... Here in the USA, we think nothing of driving 700 miles one way for a vacation. In Europe, that would cross many borders.

SP SignatureFinally: take out the TRASHH The UK pays about 83.9 (round my way) for Petrol (a litre) thats 1.57 $ a litre in US money (it has varied recently from like 79-84p) dunno what that is in gallons tho >The UK pays about 83.9 (round my way) for Petrol (a litre) thats 1.57 $ a >litre in US money (it has varied recently from like 79-84p) > >dunno what that is in gallons tho Simple conversion. A liter equals 1.06 quarts. Its easy to remember as a two-liter bottle of Coke or if its Steve Fawks buyin' it, a two liter bottle of Pepsi equals 67.5 ounces or a little more than two quarts. Its about that size, or if you drink it by the glass its eight or so glasses if you go very easy on the ice. So-o-o-o-oo-o-o-o-o-o, the liter is a little bigger ...... a quart is 32 ounces (4 glasses) and a gallon is 4 quarts or 128 ounces. So-o-oo-o-o-o-o, $1.57 x 4 / 1.06 equals ........ $5.92 or less than three times what it would cost in the U.S. Or according to the internet, ... One liter equals: 202.88 teaspoons: 67.628 tablespoons: 33.814 fluid ounces ... cubic meter: 62.4269 pounds per cubic foot: 998.83 ounces per cubic foot ... www.ookingdom.com/metric/factors - 17k - Cached - Similar pages 33.814 33.814 _____ 67.628 checking myself ...... yeah I got it. >>The UK pays about 83.9 (round my way) for Petrol (a litre) thats 1.57 $ a >>litre in US money (it has varied recently from like 79-84p) [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >$5.92 or less than three times what it would cost in the U.S. Very cool converter: http://www.teaching-english-in-japan.net/conversion/milliliters >>The UK pays about 83.9 (round my way) for Petrol (a litre) thats 1.57 $ a >>litre in US money (it has varied recently from like 79-84p) [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >$5.92 or less than three times what it would cost in the U.S. Over here, the Galaxy was an enormous car built by Ford.

No. The focus is another car and a lot smaller. http://www.galaxieclub.com/navigate.html Our Galaxie was much bigger. A web search leads me to images of mini-vans.

I think most UK NHS dentists do private work. Google finds a few... http://www.google.com/search?q=private+dentists+hampshire&hl=en&lr=&start=10&sa=N Here are some in Southampton (which I've no experience of). http://www.city-centre-dental.co.uk/ http://www.machenbarker.co.uk/ Perhaps there is a dental school in Hampshire that needs people to practice on? Give some a call and see what they estimate for an extraction. Take your existing x-rays along. >> Hi >> I have a wisdom tooth that I want/need taken out - i am on a NHS dentist [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >I think most UK NHS dentists do private work.
