Why an NHS dentist is as rare as hen’s teeth
12th December 2008
My children hardly ever go to the dentist any more. This is not because they have good teeth – as half of their genes come from me, they may be destined to a life time of shoring up and pulling out yellowing stumps. Of course I take them if they ever complain of any pain, but they aren’t getting regular check-ups for the simple reason that our dentist has stopped working on the NHS.
This is what socialized medicine does to people. Note that, if the government doesn’t pay for it, she doesn’t take her kids to the dentist. In America we call that “child abuse”.
