Hi , can anyone advise me about Durophat toothpaste. i was informed that i would need this toothpaste for the ongoing future, my dentist (Private Partnership) refuses to give me a Prescription for this, and insists on charging me for it. I understand that they are not part of the NHS but surely they should give me a Prescription that i can take to a Dispensary,as i am entitled to Free Prescriptions due to my age . many thanks
Most NHS dentists will. So will private ones, it’s just that you have to pay for those.

Duraphat I should ask GP to prescribe and I’ll have another go!

The varnish is extra insurance. Nobody mentioned it to me but I couldn’t use Duraphat for a year so this was the only alternative.
How much is a fluoride varnish on nhs?
Sorry don’t know. There is no such thing as an NHS dentist in Wales.
Management has made more of a mess of the NHS here than they have in England if you could even imagine that.
