The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

dentistryHaving been in dentistry for 8 years now I have noticed a few little things that dentists will do (me NOT included!)
there is the obvious mark up on lab work, we pay £150 to the lab for a private crown, and charge the patient £450 and above.
I will say though be very wary when going to your NHS dentist, if they say you need a fissure seal on the buccal surface of a tooth (cheek side) its more often than not, not needed, but they get a sweet 3 UDA points (new g'ment pay structure) for about 5 seconds worth of work!
I would like to add though that not all dentists are crooks, and i would say that most surgeries have clean instruments!!
