He shouldn’t need to travel to fucking turkey for medical treatment. This should be free, on the NHS. UK dentistry is a mess.
The fact that he went to A&E and was noted as being suicidal and wasn’t admitted into a mental health unit is grim.
I am 66 and I have osteoporosis. As a result I have lost nearly all of my back teeth. I can’t even get dentures on the NHS.
The young moan about boomers, but my parents had much better healthcare and retirement than I will.
Government contracts have literally ruined every sector of British business and industry
Spent my life at Turkish dentists, they did an amazing job. There definitely needs to be some investigation into the practice.
The government needs to come clean on how they are going to fund dentistry.
Either fund it enough so everyone under 18 e.g. children get proper free dental care so they know enough to and can take care of their teeth as adults then adults pay, or sort out the subsidiaries properly.
At the moment I can have a check up and cleaning of 3-4 teeth on the NHS, then anything else I need to pay privately for. However at least the dentist I see has made that clear. Luckily for me my teeth didn’t crack and my fillings didn’t all fall out when I had an incompetent GP who couldn’t diagnose a now common medical condition.
There are a lot of great dentists that are much cheaper than UK all over the world, eastern Europe and Turkey Are particularly well known but the problem has always been separating the wheat from the chaff, if you’re planning to have a medical procedure done in another country you should do a lot of research beforehand, I mean at least three or four months worth.
In the south west there is a 0-2% of registrating for an NHS dentist. I have called every dentist from Bristol to Plymouth and none of them were accepting. NHS dentistry is an absolute shambles, it’s diabolical that flying abroad to Turkey for dental work and staying in a nice resort actually costs less than seeing a UK dentist.
This is so sad. He didn’t opt for Turkey because of vanity, he had periodontal disease for which treatment by an NHS dentist should have been readily available.
I’m confused at to why he didn’t just go back to Poland and get it done there.
