Went to the dentists for a check up, it states that in your £21 NHS visit, you get a check up, scale and polish for the money? When I asked about my scale and polish I was informed that it was an extra £70 and that I'd have to make another appointment. How did it get to the point where dentists can rip you of, and there be so little you can do about it? Or is it just me expecting to much from my over payed National Insurance.
