I had to sign up to a private dentist (no NHS in the area). One thing I always notice the few times I've had to go private for things is that you don't get lectured.
With the NHS it's like waiting for the NordVPN bit in a YouTube video, except you can't skip it.
You need to lose weight, stop drinking, eat better, exercise, wash behind your ears, phone your mother, come more often, not come as often, get more sleep, work less, just be happier, find some "me" time, stay informed but worry less, get out more, close the door (were you born in a barn?).
I wonder if there's been any papers on contrasting primary care providers who moan at their patients and those who don't. I can't help wondering if it's counterproductive.
It's made me much happier to book checkups knowing that we both start on the basis that I'm trying.

The biggest difference is that there seems to be a revolving door of dentists where if you are unlucky (like my wife) you never see the same dentist twice.
