Do I have to pay for dental consultation or treatment fee in Dental Hospital?

I went to a Dental Hospital, which is part of the university for research purpose.


I went into emergency treatment, one of my teeth was fixed by "Filling" in my second appointment and another teeth required further treatment, I didn't have to pay for treatment, the treatment was done by student supervise by specialist. The dental student then put me into a waiting list, so that I can have my third appointment with specialist which will be two months after. My question is I don't have to pay any for the first treatment, what about my second treatment with the specialist? Do you think I will have to pay for consultation and also for the more complicated treatment fee like root canal? I know I should have ask the dental hospital, but i just wonder if anyone know?

If in the UK then no you won't have to pay if it's treated at the hospital and you are seeing a consultant. I know I've had lots done and am awaiting a right jaw replacement (TMJ). I don't have to pay as it's the NHS.
Reply:any work that u hav done at a dental hospital will be free. -incluing root canal fillings! (trust me i have been a dental nurse for the past 8 years!) do u recieve any benifits or are you in full time emplyment? if you recieve any benifits then you would be better off registering yourself at a local nhs dentist as you will be exempt from paying any costs and the waiting time at a surgery will not be as long as the dental hospital! hope this helps xx good luk with your treatment.
