Just had my first experience of aussie dentistry - stuck a crown back in that fell out yesterday, had a check up whilst I was there - $253!!!!!! She said that if the crown fell out again they would do x rays etc, I said don't bother just pull it out (it's a back tooth after all), 12 quid I paid at home for a tooth extracting, $300 they want to charge me here!!!! Ball of string and door knob comes to mind!!!!

seang

I never visited the dentist while i lived in OZ, for the simple fact it was far too expensive.
But my youngest did and it cost me $600 for 2 fillings.

Back in UK now and we all have regular check ups, OH had new bridge fitted for 90 pound.That was going to cost $3000 in OZ.

If ya want nice teeth and/or in pain you will pay what it takes!
I was working away in london town last year and had the worst tooth ache ever i would of let the local butcher in tesco sort it and i would of paid a grand to get rid of the pain
You either pay it or dont

Father inlaw paid £1000+ for a crown in uk(private) few months ago,while i paid £200 uk(cattle class).

It is worth people being aware that not all Dentists charge the high rates.

Some Dental costs I have seen include:
Item 531 White Filling - 1 Surface - Back Tooth: Maximum Fee $190.00
NobleDentist charge $103.00.
My Dentist charges $115.00.

Item 533 White Filling - 3 Surfaces - Back Tooth: Maximum Fee $304.00
Noble Dentist charge $151.00
Mine maybe about $160 ?

I took my daughter to the dentist today, and got the shock of my life...

They said "No Charge Today".... I left the building before they got to change their minds..... I am still wondering why....

Some people just don't want to believe...

Some people would rather deny the fact that some things can be cheaper, than open their eyes and look...


A Negative attitude guarantees that you will find negatives in almost everything -
A Positive attitude gives a much better chance of a happy life.

Thanks . I'll look it up the next time I need dental work. Please continue with the smug little maxims.
Seriously you really are a mine of info.
All the best

That's one reason that I am no longer bitter and twisted, as I used to be back in my anti-Australian days.

I've learned to look around and not accept the worst.

As i said keep posting the smug comments.

Is it maybe because at 14,897 posts to date you have spent a considerable period of your life posting on BE.

I cant be bothered to calculate the sum but it would appear that whilst others are having sex,drinking,smoking and all other worthwhile pastimes you are doing this.

What does 14,897 at a minute per post equate to in days,months and years?

To add to our crown data collection I recently paid 550 pounds in OZ (at current xchange rate) to private dentist for crown.
