You may have seen the recent TV coverage about the Guide Post dental practice that's cutting its patient list from 6000 to 2500 and requiring local people to agree to pay £14 a month, plus a £10 joining fee.

Do you feel that local dentists are abusing their position, or do you think that the Government is letting us down badly?

Get in there!

Hats off!

Get in there!

Hats off!

And mouths wide open of course.

I bet the results of this poll ruffle a few feathers when the Powers That Be find out what the people of Bedlington think. They'll be quaking in their forty-pound Italian loafers.

Power to the people!

Well you could go to the "Clayton Arms" & chat to a regular,

10 minutes later you're minus all teeth

The working class can kiss my !*!@# ,

I've got the foreman's job at last.

and another dentist bites the dust...

well they've become private anyway...

however, fear not, as for £11.50 per month the gracious Fleming will service YOU! (though only for some things; the expensive stiff you'll have to pay for)

although some cynics may see this as a venture motivated solely by financial gain, please be aware that this decision has been made because of "enormous pressures" from the NHS and has been made "after months of soul-searching"

oh, and if you're still not convinced that paying the Fleming the price of a few pints and take-away every month will be to your advantage, don't forget that a new "young, talented dentist [who is] a grade 8 violinist and player/manager of his own football team" will no doubt be able to do anything he puts his gifted mind to.

£11.50 for him to put his tool in your mouth? I think it's a bargain.

I resent that, break a few bones for sure, but not teeth
