Verbatim
“While private dentists are held to the same ethical standards as NHS dentists, the fee-per-item business model can increase the likelihood of recommendations for high-cost, elective, or aesthetic treatments. If you go to a new dentist who you feel is pushing you into an expensive procedure that your previous dentist has never mentioned, don't be afraid to ask questions about the rationale for this treatment.”
