    I have recently had a letter from my dentist (Mr Sharp, Cudworth), and from the 1st April, he will be going private. Apparently he is introducing a scheme where he assesses you, and calculates a monthly fee for you to pay. This replaces the need to pay for your treatment as you have it, putting a stop to having to fork out potentially large sums of money for treatment all at once. Now, what i dont understand is where does Westfield Healthcare come into this? Isn't it possible to claim this way anymore? Or is Westfield just for treatment on the NHS?</p>

    Also, are there any NHS dentists left in Barnsley and its surrounding areas that are willing to accept new patients?</p>

    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.</p>

    They'll look after you.From having a tidy receptionist to having a bird who does the sucking bit while resting a tit in your face.

    Lol

    Sounds fantastic. Do you get extras? Will Westfield contribute to the &quot;extras&quot;? Or is it dental treatment only?

    Extras are much better than the dental treatment itself.

    Everyone keeps saying they've a bad reputation but seem fine to me and much better than no dentist at all.

    Years ago that practice did have a bad name.</p>


    </p>

    I think the problem  they now is that there rivals on Barnsley Road , Walker and McBride are so bloody good.</p>

    We didn't use to call it Butcher Frys' for nothing.

    It certainly did have a bad reputation.
