Do you pay for private dental care or use the NHS?

00:00Yeah, I use NHS dentistry. It's not the easiest to get an appointment at all, really.

00:08It's a private practice that does NHS care, but I think they just kind of want you in and out the door.

00:17I think they're more concerned about just selling you dental packages and the like.

00:22They want you in and out. I don't think they really care all that much about whether your teeth are in good nick,

00:29unless you're paying them, of course, by which point they will sell you everything.

00:33I don't use the dentist that often, but when I do, I would go privately, yes.

00:38Because at the end of the day, I'm the client, I'm the thing.

00:41The dentist will see me as the client, so I get better results when it's private.

00:46I haven't been for years. I've had a bad experience and I can't go back unless I have to.

00:53NHS, and the one I use, I'm always with SACE High Room, so I can't complain on mine anyway.

00:59It's definitely been there.
