Ridiculous, how many of us pensioners nearly 80 can afford that every month, some of us can’t catch three buses to visit some dentist you don’t know. I have been with my dentist for over 35 years and he’s retiring at the end of the year. I’ve seen some of the dental work in other places it’s shocking. I suppose if you receive pensioner credit it won’t apply to you. What about single parents who work, have a mortgage and are just managing they can’t afford to pay every month. It ridiculous. Leave it as it is at least we have dentists. Shocking way to get money again

‘I have been told I would be a gold patient so only pay £19 per month that,s £228 per year and may not even see them but that charge does not include major work that will be on top it is Welsh labour ripping us off again but how will it effect pensions who cant afford it I was told by my dentist if you don’t pay you don’t see a dentist disgusting

This is absolutely ridiculous. a lot of people are nervous enough about visiting a dentist , but if you see the same one all the time you build up trust . just another way to make money

terrible for nhs wales border patients such as myself who has been receiving alot of nhs work on my teeth.my dentist in border Wales is 13 miles from my English border address and the nhs dentist who won’t take me on is 21 miles from my address. we had this fight with buses crossing borders and won the appeal. Will we be able to fight the nhs welsh dentistry rules for border towns

This is a poor decision, people put trust in their dentist. I cannot see the benefit of historic records being scrapped, this will create a backlog in misunderstanding patients issues. Also many patients, particularly the elderly, might find it financially and physically impractical to attend another surgery. Very poor decision.

Is this really beneficial to anyone ? It seems absolutely ridiculous that notes won’t transfer if this system is taken up .It doesn’t appear that anybody registered with NHS dentist will get the care they require . It just seems like a scam to get everyone to go private and those that can’t pay will suffer. It’s a real backward step , absolutely ludicrous .
