anyone been cheated at a dentist? i have been done so twice in the past 2 yrs and i feel upset knowing they can do that to patients. i had a checkup that included a scale and polish (to make you teeth look clean and white) but i never had it done which i later found out by talking to my mum. it was a 1.5 min check up for £15.50 and i feel upset how they can do this to me. the receptionist said i dint need it but how does she know the *****. it seems as though thhey're making money from us NHS paying patients. i complained and said i want a scale and polish and i wont pay for it as ive paid for it before. but they refused. my teeth are bad and bet anyone just looking at them can say they are. how do i complain and if i do, are they going to take it serious or is the manager corrupt too. if so who do i tell, my local MP or councillor? any ideas or suggestions? thanx

Yeah..ive been cheated many times... dentists make a minor problem a major one, and take a lot of moneyfor it and leave your teeth worse than before.

You can complain to the NHS (there is a bit on the form you sign that they actually have the right to inspect your teeth to see that you received the work claimed for).
Your local MP will just refer you to the NHS so I would start there ... I would bet they will be able to tell you what you should get for £15.50 (may just be an inspection not incl. a scale/polish).

it might be that ur teeth are fine how ever if u are paying for something that was not given to you that is wrong and they do need to refune u ur money and go to another dentist. i am from america and they are not able to play those games over here because we have small claims court. i do not know if u have that over there but u should complain to ur cousilers if they don't do n e thing about it i suggest u go to the british better business beuros.

They are business men. Why do you think they are so rich?
