Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / January 2006dentist refuses extraction - wants me to have rc
Yeah, how do i convince the guy to give me what i want? It's NHS (government) paid treatment but i guess he still earns proportionately more for rc? tnx > Yeah, > how do i convince the guy to give me what i want? Search for "holistic dentist" on the NHS website... (<-- joke) Why would you want the tooth removed if it can be saved? > how do i convince the guy to give me what i want? > It's NHS (government) paid treatment but i guess he still > earns proportionately more for rc? I didn't even realise you could get root canals on the NHS: I'd have thought he'd have pulled it and sent you packing... I don't understand why you'd want to have it pulled if you can have a root canal at no cost to you (unless they do it in five minutes with no anaesthetic because that's all the NHS will pay for :)).

NHS is not at no cost to the patient. An extraction would be very much cheaper than a root canal to the patient on the NHS. Ann its only a goddamned piece of paper schreef: > Yeah, > how do i convince the guy to give me what i want? > It's NHS (government) paid treatment but i guess he still > earns proportionately more for rc? > > tnx Why would you have a tooth extracted if the problem can be solved with rct? If the treatment does not agree with the person performing it, that person has the right to refuse on the basis of ethics and liability. Just because you want your heart removed does not mean the cardilogist will perform the procedure, especially if he/she believes it will cause you harm. Cost has nothing to do with this and just proves the point that the dentist is looking out for your health. |
