From an interesting article in today's New Statesman on the whole issue of
dental charges.

Facts are sacred ... but comment is free
When we signed up with a new NHS dentist in February of last year. They said
that they had already done as much NHS work for the financial year that they
could be paid for. They were then charging NHS patients until April what
they would have had to pay as NHS patients. Does it make sense ???
