Hi Bath! They are pretty busy so it would take away from other kids whose parents just couldn't afford to go to the Dentist. As I said, I'm not worried about the cost because our PHI covers 80% of it and he is an excellent dentist. The school dentist is only a Dental Technician, so she is limited in what she can do anyway. One of the teeth DD1 had to have filled kept coming out all the time because she just wasn't doing it properly and then it coincided with us getting PHI so I took her to him and never looked back.
