Hi, I'm an NHS patient who pays for treatment, I've recently started suffering with sensetivity to hot and cold, and have one tooth that has become painful to chew on. I booked in for a checkup and my regular dentist said it was most likely due to a build up of tartar. He's booked me back in for a scale and polish (done by him), and an x-ray.
He also recommended that I see the hygenist every three months for a year, to clear the problem. But... I have to pay to see the hygenist privately. I know the bands for nhs treatment have changed, but if its a course of treatment he's recommending, shouldn't I be able to get this on the nhs? Hope someone can help.
Cheers,
Martin.
