Is its true that white fillings are provided by NHS?
Q. Hi. I read in ‘Guide to NHS dental Services’ that white fillings are provided by NHS(doesn’t specify front or back). I called a few practices to ask this and I was told that white fillings are available only for the front teeth. But my children had white fillings at the back and didn’t pay anything. So which is the truth?
A.
I would recommend that you contact the BDA as I have not been involved with NHS dentistry for many years

Most dentists are greedy and deceptive when it comes to any type of cosmetic work.They will do their utmost to make you believe the type of treatment offered is available private only.I sufferd years,decades of poor dental health and unsightly teeth due to not being able to afford extortionate detal treatment.one nhs dentist told me he will refuse to treat me on the NHS but the same treatment is available to me if I pay.I have poor teeth due to tetracycline staining during childhood and I have endured a discoloured smiled painfully all my life.I look after my teeth with all I have available,but over the years dentists have lied to me and carried out root canal privately even though this can be an NHs treatment.Now I need a crown due to a disco loud tooth and my NHS dentist is trying to charge me £800.my mental health is affected by grey discoloured teeth and teeth discoloured by shabby root canals but the dentists do not care about this.all they see is money,you have poor dental health money money money make us rich.
