I'm NHS registered with my dentist. Just joined there few weeks ago. I don't know if the NHS band charges are "per" item or does it include all work to be done? Had to pay £10.00 deposit to attend a check up. Not returned. Told need my wisdom tooth out, root canal, sedation & 2 fillings, had 3 x-rays. What should the charge be? Written for a price quote & dental work outline in writing enclosed a S.A.E over a week ago & still nothing. Appointment soon had to pay £60.00 deposit as it includes sedation. They say this will be returned What exactly should I have got off the practice. No prices mentioned from practice at all. Advice would be great!

I live in Scotland - don't know if there are different charging systems here or not!
