Do I have to pay for dental consultation or treatment fee in Dental Hospital?!
Question:
Do I have to pay for dental consultation or treatment fee in Dental Hospital?
I went to a Dental Hospital, which is part of the university for research purpose.
I went into emergency treatment, one of my teeth was fixed by "Filling" in my second appointment and another teeth required further treatment, I didn't have to pay for treatment, the treatment was done by student supervise by specialist. The dental student then put me into a waiting list, so that I can have my third appointment with specialist which will be two months after. My question is I don't have to pay any for the first treatment, what about my second treatment with the specialist? Do you think I will have to pay for consultation and also for the more complicated treatment fee like root canal? I know I should have ask the dental hospital, but i just wonder if anyone know?
Answers:
If in the UK then no you won't have to pay if it's treated at the hospital and you are seeing a consultant. I know I've had lots done and am awaiting a right jaw replacement (TMJ). I don't have to pay as it's the NHS.
