As a result they become money chasing, robbing shallow excuses... Flying schools and Sailing Clubs are full of the parasites chucking their ill-gotten gains around to little consequence. Most tend to end up suicidal or alcoholic because of their worthless lack of self-esteem or "retire" early rather than teach their so called skills to others.
November 1, 20241 yr 4 hours ago, Not in Crawley said: In no way at all. Dentists like to describe themselves as "surgeons" or "doctors" when their actual job is to repair bone outcrops rooted in our jaws and/or make Premier League managers look ridiculous on Match of the Day. The NHS can no longer afford their egos so the majority have opted to go private and earn over 130K, which is the same as Hospital Consultants and more then Registrars who treat life threatening conditions such as cancer and people smashed up in road accidents. That is why it is so much cheaper to seek dental treatment in Turkey or Hungary, we have let out dentists get an over-inflated opinion of themselves. They don't care that our children are suffering from record levels of tooth decay

If some youngster doesn't get the A Levels but still wants to have the ego of being a "doctor" or have meet their parents' expectations they will probably end up in dental school and then we over reward them because we all hate toothache. Who in their right mind wants to spend their working day firkling around in folks' dirty mouths? It's a failure profession at the end of the day. The Advertising Standards Authority ruled against dentists without a medical doctorate advertising themselves as "doctors"... this was taken to appeal by the Dental Association and the BDA lost... they are and always will be secondary to professionals having medical doctorates and should not expect the same pay grades.

No dentures here ... i still bite with nature's own. I am sick and tired of dentists and their attitudes... one of my mates at work just forked out £500 for two extractions as there are no NHS dentists anymore, 15 minutes tops including the time for the numming... £2,000 per hour? As at the beginning of this discussion I am very afraid of GPs being driven down this avenue hence my pissed offiness
November 1, 20241 yr That’s expensive. Ive still got an NHS dentist. Edited November 1, 20241 yr by mickbrown

November 1, 20241 yr Okay... If I need heart surgery or my leg re-attaching and a dentist comes into the room telling me he has the same training as the his lower paid registrar and consultant colleagues I'll just accept this and roll over. You can dress any profession up to get people to sign up to the course... colleges and unis are very good at this... I wonder how many finish the course. Dentists are over paid. End of

End of You are over simplifying Dimron. They are paid what the market will bear - just like tradesmen. Not all hospital Doctors are involved in 'life saving' specialties. You also seem to be disregarding that NHS doctors also can and do engage in private work - particularly in the Surgical specialties.
November 1, 20241 yr Piece of piss is dentistry. Don't have to worry about bones, nerves nor blood supply. All they do is pick around a bit and pull the odd tooth! 🤪

End of Yet more bollox. The research, from student careers service, Debut Careers, also shows the dropout rates by subject. Their insights reveal that computer sciences are the subjects which suffer from the highest dropout rate at 9.8%, with medicine, dentistry and veterinary science being the subjects which see the lowest, at just 1.5%.

November 1, 20241 yr I've known a good few dentists in my time Some very well and as such their dentist mates also They all did loads of drugs at the weekend My advice would always be don't book a dental appointment first thing on a Monday
November 1, 20241 yr So why is State subsidised dentistry becoming redundant? If it's not financial and or pure greed, please let me know

It probably would have happened under the Tories but might not now happen under Labour
