Show Notes
NHS dental charges in England increased by approximately 1.7% from April 1st, with routine check-ups now costing £27.90 and treatments like fillings, root canals, and extractions ranging from £76.60 to £332.10. While the government justifies the hike as a below-inflation adjustment to maintain service quality, dental experts and associations express concern that the increased costs may deter patients from seeking regular care, potentially leading to more severe dental issues. However, children, pregnant women, and low-income individuals still qualify for free treatment.
