29 May 2012 08:57175410AGAIN we are being ripped offALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 29 May 2012 11:09175436I went to the dentist on Penceater earlier in the year. They wanted to charge me £250 for gum shield! I tOld them that was too expensive considering it may not solve the problem. As I got the the counter to pay for my check up the assistant ran out and said 'you can get that for £140 if you go private'. WHAT!!!! Does not make sense!

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
