[nannon]

Has anyone got this dentsist health thing where you pay monthly or something...? I dont really know what it is but it means you save money and ive just found ou then when i got to the detist its prob going to cost me �189...Does anyone know what i'm talking about?!
If i did take out some sort of plan would i be able to have treatment straight away or not?

Thanks

weird. i was just on the denplan website looking into this.. that seemed to be saying that i had to find a dentist in my area (im in central scotland) from their list, contact the dentist and ask if they accepted new denplan patients, if they said yes then i was to go to them, have a basic check up so that they could assess what level of plan i should go onto and then i would have to pay for that (it did mention that these dentists would set their own fees for that) then i would speak to denplan again, and set up a direct debit and membership for whatever level i was meant to be at. which one were you looking at?

Oh thats a coincidence! Thanks.

I know in total i could have to pay up to �250 and just wanted to know if it would be worth me doing a plan. I have a dentist appointment on Tuesday - do you think i should go - find out how much its all going to be and then see if they accept denta plan people? If not will i just be able to find someone who will and take the workd if the first dentist? Maybe it would have to be the dentist i sign with though....oh god i have no idea!!!

thanks

yeah, that was a coincedence, i spent half my lunch break on the denplan site then flicked over here!!
my problem is that i am not registered with a dentist at all... im not sure how that works these days as i know alot of places are full around here. so i am not sure if these places i have from denplan will accept me full stop if they are full, or maybe when they find out i am through denplan they will? im confused by it all !!

me too! Have tried reading some sites but it confuses me. I'm not sure if its just me or the way they are written but i just don't get it! I'm going to go with its the way they're written i think....!

me aswell!! i think i might just phone these places and ask if they have places full stop. then if they say no. i shall phone again a few days later and ask if they have denplan places ... i just dont know if they really want denplan people or not !!!
i will let you know though !!

I am with Denplan - my dentist announced last year that they were opting out of the NHS and had 7000 places on a first come first served basis. Me & my husband signed up with the dentist as existing patients and they sorted the Denlan stuff out for us. I went to the dentist last week for a filling and didn't have to pay anything because it was covered by Denplan.
