Shambolic is how many have described the recent overhaul of the NHS dental service. Seven in every ten dentists have either quit the NHS or have signed theirnew NHS contract "under dispute". This means that theyve given notice to the NHS that in three months time they have the right to refuse NHS patients and switch to private practice.

The rumpus is about the new contract which many dentists claim has been rushed and forced upon them without proper consultation. The new contract was designed to streamline the service by replacing some 400 different dental charges withjust three charges (car insurance cover). From now on patients will be charged £15.50 for a check-up, £42.40 for filling irrespective of the number of fillings and £189.00 for more complicated work such as bridges and crowns. Each charge pays for a complete course of treatment, no matter how long it takes and no matter how many teeth have to be treated.

But dentists claim that these price bands will frighten many patients off and make them delay treatment leading to an explosion of tooth decay. Dr AnthonyHalperin from the Patients Association says, "Im concerned that many patients will wait until they need multiple treatments to try to get value for money. If that does happen, it is likely we will see a significant rise in tooth decay". (mortgages)

The exodus of dentists from the NHS means that up to 16 million patients could be left without state dental care. Whats more, if you have to switch to private care, theres no certainty that youll find a dentist who will accept you onto his list. There are signs that dentists are going to be very choosey about who they treat. It seems possible that many dentists will only accept those who are either well off or who have dental insurance (mortgages).

So how do you set about getting insured? Well without doubt, theInternet is going to be the place to find the best deals. Many dentists will leave details of one or two schemes in their waiting rooms but they arent insurance experts.

Specialised dental insurance brokers will essentially offer you two key options: dental insurance and dental capitalisation schemes. There is a third option - cash plans - but they tend to cover a wide range of medical treatment with dental treatment being but one small part of the cover. (best loan)
