I know this isn't going to be an emergency so thought I'd ask on here before I can call my own dentist tomorrow.

My dog has just jumped at me and struck his head against my teeth, which in turn has chipped the top two of my teeth. I'm not in real pain, just a funny feeling in my jaw and a headache.

I can't get the NHS dental page up online and wondered what I'm looking at to get them fixed and what kind of charges this will come to, roughly? It's the bottom of the top two teeth which are chipped and I've eaten and drunk hot coffee with no adverse reaction.
I'm shocked at how easily they chipped as my teeth have always been hard as nails :-/

Depends how much they are chipped.
My darling son in freshers year the other week badly chipped his front tooth after getting completely 'wasted'. a few weeks later it has gone grey.
I got him back to me and took him to my dentist and he told him he needs root canal filling as he has damaged the root. Root bleaching and then capping. Luckily it will all be on the NHS for free, but has to get it done at Chester where he is at uni.  My Cap, privately cost £300 last year, but private Caps look alot better. I dread to think how much James tooth would cost privately.
They might be able to vaneer instead.
You should be able to find NHS charges online as they are standard across the board.
Hope its nothing major xx

I don't know about cost but I chipped a front tooth drinking out of a glass bottle when I was a passenger in a car as a kid. The tooth is now discoloured so if i were you I'd get something done asap.

By coincidence I was at the dentist today having 2 fillings (and X-ray last visit). I noted at the last visit that there was a £2.50 surcharge for using credit cards so this time went armed with cheque book only to be told they don't take cheques! So on top of £288 bill there was an extra £2.50. I was more than p****d off.

Why didn't you use your debit card? no charges then.

Just been to hospital and they said that it will need to be built up tomorrow at regular dentist. Had emergency fee as the pain kicked in. They've been coated and got ab's...

Blinking got sent to Crawley hospital for it all too

poor you. Surprising how hard a dogs head is and I bet she? didnt notice 

Oh nooooooo sorry to hear that :( xxxx
Hope they get it sorted quickly (james pain took a few days to kick in :(  )

Not she but HE!!! A BMD head is not for clashing with, esp your teeth...

I can't get the NHS dental page up online and wondered what I'm looking at to get them fixed and what kind of charges this will come to, roughly?

If you get it done on the NHS it will either be £49 or or £214 -that's the middle and high charge for a course of treatment.

Thanks Marianne..

WS hope your teeth are sorted and that it didn't hurt your wallet too badly?

I'm now chilling on the sofa with said dog, lol

I'm guessing I'm supposed to be broken!!

Network, yes I should've but rarely use it and thought I could give them a cheque. Next time I'll pay them in £1 coins!!

Do it with pennies instead ;-)

I think there's a actually a law about how large a sum (I think it's about £20) can be paid in small change, but would have to check. :-)

Teeth all done, feel really weird as not the same shape as before, think I need a little bit shaved off one of them as I feel rather bugs bunny right now...

Had to pay cosmetic fee to go for the blended filler rather than the NHS bog standard one which would not of matched!!
£140 worse off all because my boy jumped to say hello, that will teach me not to allow this in future!!

>I think there's a actually a law about how large a sum (I think it's about £20) can be paid in small change

Yes - Legal Tender.

"Throughout the United Kingdom, coins valued 1 pound, 2 pounds, and 5 pounds Sterling are legal tender in unlimited amounts. Twenty pence pieces and fifty pence pieces are legal tender in amounts up to 10 pounds; five pence pieces and ten pence pieces are legal tender in amounts up to 5 pounds; and pennies and two pence coins are legal tender in amounts up to 20 pence.[23] In accordance with the Coinage Act 1971,[24] gold sovereigns are also legal tender for any amount. Although it is not specifically mentioned on them, the face values of gold coins are 50p; £1; £2; and £5, a mere fraction of their worth as bullion"

Thanks Daisy, that backs me up nicely. :-) A business would be entitled to refuse an offer to pay a bill of more than 20p in coppers. :-)

Someone tried it and lost out!
