Dentist group slashes treatment prices by 30%

THE cost of visiting the dentist is set to plunge as the country’s largest dental group slashed prices by 30%.

The move is aimed at stopping people travelling to the North where dental services are a third cheaper.

It is expected this will also result in a price war among the country’s dentists, where prices have increased by more than 2% over the last year, according to the Central Statistics Office.
