My wife has just returned from a visit to her dentists

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
Q.
My wife has just returned from a visit to her dentists. She went there with a painful tooth. She has been charged £805 for a glass ion filling, PJC and RCT posterior, firstly is this a reasonable price for the treatment? Secondly,she was given no advice as to what options she had for treatment and not told what costs to expect, until after the initial work was done. Are there any guidelines,laid down by professional bodies, which dentists are supposed to follow in cases like this, and where is the best place to complain to about unprofessional conduct and/or breach of guidelines?

i have a cracked tooth after a filling do I need an implant?

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
Q.
I had a filling replaced on the advice of my dentist. When the filling was drilled out she told me my tooth had cracked in the median plane (lower molar I think number 2- it’s the one that my brace was attached to) the tooth is now causing me real pain – the dentist says it has now partly cracked from the gum side and is infected – the only option is extraction and tooth implant. Is there any other option available – £2000 for something that stemmed from a filling replacement is a bit hard to swallow? How would I seek a second opinion? Many thanks for your time – it is much appreciated, A
