You have got a very busy week ahead.  Hope it all goes well for you.  I'm at my mums in Norfolk until next Monday . I'm meeting up with a very good friend of mine for lunch on Friday afternoon

Good afternoon @Craig77x sounds like you and also @woodbine have a lot planned.

I am off to pick up my watch tomorrow, which was being repaired and is now ready for collection. Also have dentist on Wednesday. Apart from that not a lot!!

Craig77x

Seems everyone is going to the dentist right now, I just went last week and I'm sure I've seen at least 3-4 other people here mention going to the dentist!

I know it's something you should really do about twice a year but I only go the once a year (dentist said I didn't have to do more than once a year).

@Jimm_Scope

Do you happen to pay into Denplan - or any other monthly payment plan?

I believe, but not 100% sure, that these schemes allow you 2 checkups a year but some dentists will say you only need 1 because they still get paid for both.

Happened with me and I had to push for the 2nd appointment as I am OCD with my teeth and go every 6 months.

Hope that makes sense?

I am lucky to get private insurance through my partner's career (It costs about £50 a month to add me to it), they provide up to £130 a year for checkups plus a lot more. In fact since I need fillings and a touch more done so the dental work alone will make the insurance worth it, never mind the other things I've used it for.

The dentist doesn't get paid I get reimbursed so when they said once a year they weren't making any money off it! They're very, very nice at my dentistry.

Is that just private dental insurance or full private health insurance?

If full health insurance that is fantastic value but £50 is a lot just for dental insurance, unless you have bad teeth.

Denplan rank your dental health out of 5 I believe. I am in band 2, would be 1 if not for my broken front teeth. Rank 1 costs ~£15 a month, 5 costs ~£75, everyone else is in the middle...mine is about £20.

Edit to add my Denplan covers 2 checkups a year & any work you need doing except for lab fees & purely cosmetic work.

It's full private health insurance (doesn't cover pre-existing of course, nor did it cover my ADHD diagnosis  )

I am off for the day, as always a lovely day chatting with everyone

Have a nice evening Jimm

I envy my son every checkup teeth are fine, he's nearly 26 and only ever had 2 fillings one was a baby tooth.
