I’ve now experienced private dental care in the UK. Where’s my paper bib? What, no x-rays? It was a little different than the standard US visit to the dentist, but not bad, and not too expensive. And happily, no root canal or fillings required this time around. I went the private route at the recommendation of some of our colleagues, and also because there was an eight-week waiting list to see an NHS dentist.
The bad thing about moving is that I’ve had to find a new NHS doctor to see. I no longer live within the boundaries of my former GP’s practice, and so have to register with a doctor in my new neighborhood and build a new relationship with a new doctor. I suppose I shouldn’t complain too loudly, though, since it is free medical care. I liked my last doctor pretty well, and hope to find another good one.
