These days, private health care is steadily gaining prominence everywhere. An increasing number of people are switching over from the NHS and availing private treatments. One of the main reasons behind this ongoing trend is the difficulty in getting appointment with the NHS experts. For about every 100 patients, there is just one qualified medical expert. Thus, in the normal course, one has to wait for about a fortnight to secure an appointment. This grim picture is same as well for NHS dentists.
The usual delay
In fact, people suffering from oral problems need immediate care and treatment, as toothaches can literally make life miserable. Now, it really makes no sense when someone suffering from severe tooth pain is asked to wait another couple of weeks or so before seeing an expert.
Treatment charges
Treatment cost is one of the main reasons because of which people register themselves with the National Health Service (NHS). In fact, the majority of patients intend to save money by going to NHS dentists over private practitioners. But people do not realise that NHS dental treatments are not free. Except for people who are unemployed, everyone has to pay the cost of treatments here. It is also a misconception that treatment costs at private clinics are disproportionately high as compared to the NHS practices. Actually, even private oral health practitioners need to attract more patients and thus, they cannot quote overwhelmingly higher price, even if they want to.
Easy finance schemes
As compared to the NHS, most private dental practitioners offer easy finance schemes to patients. There are many private practices that offer zero percent (0%) interest on treatment charges. Apart from this interest-free payment in easy monthly instalments, one can even avail loans to foot his or her dental treatment bills. A reasonable amount is charged as interest on these loans. This is indeed a big advantage that private dental practices offer over the NHS.
State-of-the-art infrastructure and modern technology
Private dentists normally invest huge sum of money in setting up their practices. Thus, almost every private oral health care center uses the latest equipment. This makes dental treatments much painless. For example, most private dental practices use a special tool called Wand to administer anaesthesia to patients without inflicting pain. On using this equipment, patients do not even feel the needle prick. As compared to NHS clinics, private practices maintain a more patient-friendly environment. These places have more attractive decorations, brighter shades on walls along with cosy and comfortable waiting rooms. All these features contribute to greater convenience for patients. The aspect of cleanliness and hygiene is given maximum priority at these dental clinics.
Flexible working hours
Almost every private oral health clinic maintains flexible business hours to provide greater comfort to patients. They generally, remain open beyond the normal working hours on weekdays. Moreover, they accept patients, based on prior appointments, on weekends and also on bank holidays. Above everything else, dental emergency cases are actually treated on fast track basis to ensure immediate relief to patients at private clinics.
Considering all the factors mentioned above, visiting private dental clinics prove more helpful than the NHS alternative.
