Recent research carried out by the BBC and the British Dental Association shows a worrying rise in the number of people carrying out ‘DIY dentistry’ because they haven’t been able to see an NHS dentist.
From making their own teeth out of resin to home extractions, the problem is causing considerable concern with the shortage of care being caused by a mixture of factors including too few dentists being trained, Coronavirus and a dissatisfaction with NHS contracts, according to Dr Nigel Carter, CEO of the Oral Health Foundation.
Pain, an inability to eat or speak properly can force people to take drastic measures, but did you know that private dental care doesn’t have to be as expensive as you think?
In fact, our private dental memberships start from a fraction of the price of your daily coffee!
Making private dentistry affordable
Here at Sandstone Dental, we firmly believe that excellent dental care should be accessible to everyone which is why we have created a membership plan that provides a combination of control, flexibility and access to special member privileges.
Everyone’s requirements are different so our plans offer a range of care packages that will suit you and your budget perfectly.
It’s not only about spreading the cost and making care affordable, if you know that your preventative dental care has already been paid for, then you’re more likely to make it along to appointments – meaning less chance of needing emergency, invasive treatment.
Get the smile you’ve always wanted – on your terms
Our private dental membership isn’t solely about helping to spread the cost. By signing up, you’ll cover off all of your annual hygiene and routine check-up appointments.
This regular, continued, preventative care means that your dentist and hygienist will be able to notice any changes much earlier, leading to earlier intervention should it be needed.
Having your teeth regularly checked and cleaned will not only reduce the risk of more expensive treatments, but give you a great smile and fresher breath – win win!
