Yeah. A receptionist at a practice in the next village told me this morning.

Oh odd. My dentist is ok. Not sure that helps mum spent like thousands there the past few months.so she not happy

Problem is as well, if you travel you could blow £200 on petrol anyway.

It would have to be by train as I don't drive. I'd spend £300 to sort something without the £1200 price tag.

Got tooth trouble so may disappear for a short while. Hoping it isn't too bad when the numbing wears off.

I hope your tooth is feeling better! Here's an old home remedy that may provide temporary relief: place a clove next to the tooth and leave it there. Of course you wouldn't want to fall asleep that way, lest you accidentally swallow, and I hope you find a good, affordable dentist you trust.

Beneath your Escape key, what is the purpose for the symbol that looks like a sideways "L", or a Tetris tile?

At that price you might want to consider making a short trip abroad for a dentist; quicker, better service and much cheaper. They usually speak better English than the ones in the UK also.

Sounds more like a crown type of job ? If it's a back one, have the bugger pulled out and don't bother.

£1200 seems a bit expensive to me, have you looked here at what charge bands there are for NHS dental treatment and what they cover:

NHS Dental charge bands

I know somebody who had a dental implant privately and it was about £2000, so that £1200 seems more like private than NHS.

If it's a broken tooth in need of a crown, make sure it doesn't get infected while you're shopping around! Rinse with hydrogen peroxide, rinse with water, and pack with coarse-grain salt. Let the salt do its work a while, then rinse it out with cold water.
If you've got a hole from a lost filling or broken tooth, chew up some pure mastic gum (Pistacia lentiscus) and pack it into the hole until you can get some professional help
Either that, or find an Atari hacker with a Dremel & Milliput to refurbish your chompers.

Tone, you should get one of these and plug it into your Atari!

Yeah, when they've taken the root out.
