Do you have access to an NHS Dentist?I have an NHS dentist and felt very fortunate that I had until recently when I broke a tooth. I was told by him that he could do a pin and post replacement tooth but it would cost approx £1300. A pin and post comes under Band 3 of the NHS system but he gave some cock and bull reason as to why he wasn’t prepared to do it under the NHS. He said he would take it out if I couldn’t afford it. I sought advice from the NHS Dental Services who confirmed that it did indeed come under Band 3, and I got a second opinion and was told by the second dentist that due to the amount of work that was required it wasn’t financially viable for it to be done under Band 3. I decided to go for it anyway even though it’s such a huge layout and I am a pensioner but after I confirmed with my surgery that I was going ahead with the appointment the dentist rang me with a convoluted story (you could tell he was very nervous and falling over his words) to say he was now not prepared to do it. He was clearly miffed that I’d questioned the cost etc. I know they are struggling with costs to cover their work but I felt sure that he just wanted to make his profit and was doing his best to guide me towards paying this high price. I think it’s unfair that people are having to lose teeth that can be saved and unethical for a dentist to promote such a severe solution in favour of making more profit.ViewDate:

Should dog training be compulsory?As a qualified trainer and behaviourist, I have been saying for years that training should be compulsory, even the basics would help. The amount of cases I have attended in which dogs are out of control are purely down to lack of training and boundaries. It never ceases to amaze me that people do not have rudimentary knowledge of how the dog's mind works or their body language. I was once called out to a lady who wanted to leave her dog with her 18 month old baby without the dog chewing the child's toys .... I said I would be more concerned about leaving the dog unsupervised with a child! She was extremely surprised at my comment.ViewDate:
