DENTISTS in Wales have accused the Welsh government of forcing patients to pay so it can pay less.

The British Dental Association in Wales was reacting to today’s announcement that dental charges will rise in Wales from April 1 by up to 36 per cent with urgent-care charges doubling from £14.70 to £30.

A check-up will rise by 36 per cent from £14.70 to £20, a filling will increase by 27.7 per cent from £47 to £60 and dentures will cost £260.10, up 28 per cent.
