NHS Dentist demanding £50 upfront before appointments.
Got this email recently. I already thought this place was not great after they told me all NHS patients have to have check-ups every 6 months even if you have no dental issues, they were very pushy trying to insist on descale and polish at the check up. I had to say no thank you four times before they stopped trying to insist.
If I've understood it correctly, it's not legal to demand £50 upfront when a check up only costs £27.40.
