Dental fees
Sir,—Apart from asking one’s dentist to account in detail for his service charges, how can the victim ascertain from the bald statement sent from the dentist that the charges are consistent with those presumably laid down by the dental authorities? — Yours, etc., PAINFUL EXTRACTIONS. September 2, 1971.
[Mr G. S. O’Brien, president of the Canterbury branch of the Dental Association of New Zealand! replies:. “The correspondent’s reference to ‘charges presumably laid down by the dental authorities,’ is erroneous. Dental fees are essentially a confidential contract between a patient and an individual dentist, and should be discussed and agreed to by these two parties either before or after completion of treatment.”]
