I'm quite happy with NHS treatment, though occasionally have private dental work because I prefer my old amalgam fillings to be replaced with more aesthetically pleasing white ones.

Yes there are issues with the NHS that could be improved. But
medically my family and I have had to call on these services and rarely have we found them lacking.
Dental treatment and opticians are the only ones where we have experience with the 'private' options and the main complaint would be they are costly.....
£600.00 for a main pair of spectacles and supposedly 'free' back-up pair !
