The cross-Border storm over charges to dental patients continued yesterday with claims by dentists in Co Monaghan that their charges were as low as those of northern practitioners.
Last week, dentists in Banbridge, Co Down, claimed 50 per cent of their business was now from the Republic. However, yesterday a spokeswoman for dentists in Co Monaghan, Dr Bernadette Fee, said: “Our charges are as low as those listed by Northern dentists on their websites.”
