It turns out that dental health care reform isn’t just an issue in the USA…
Included in the Tory Reform Plan For The NHS is a provision that would allow UK dentists to charge patients for missed dentist appointments.
Every dentist knows that missed appointments cost a practice money. It’s not just the high-priced dental implants or Lumineers you didn’t get to place — it’s the more routine braces or denture check-up you didn’t even get to do in that time slot. So why not charge patients a fee for wasting the doctor’s time?
