I've had notice from my dentists, where I have been registered as an NHS patient for many years, telling me they will no longer do anything on NHS.
It is now necessary to take out a Denplan, a monthly direct debit.
What is going on? Is this happening in all dental practices and will it still affordable.

The NHS is in a state of collapse. People are using and abusing it. I am not surprised at what dentists are doing.
 

I've got to pay £15 a month now, which gives me two checkups a year and 20% off any treatment which I must pay private fees for. No choice. I just consider myself lucky I am registered with a dentist. Nothing is as bad as dental pain I think.
I can afford this, but many people probably cannot.
