I don&#x27;t know what the figures are for NHS&#x2F;Private but I&#x27;ve been wholly private for 15 years or so. I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s that uncommon?<p>The emphasis with private practice is very much biased towards prevention. My experience with the old NHS system was entirely the opposite.<p>I am of the generation where NHS dentists were paid per filling. I don&#x27;t know how the system works now but I&#x27;m in no rush to find out.
