Good morning!
I went to the dentist a couple of weeks ago and was told I needed a wisdom tooth extracted. So I booked my appointment, and the receptionist asks me to pay £49. Fine I thought, not too bad. Went to my appointment today, had the tooth removed, and then as I return to the front desk I hear 'that'll be £150 please'.
Now maybe it was just me being stupid, but am I not supposed to be informed about how much my treatment would cost before I agree to it? I (wrongly) assumed that the £49 was all I had to pay, and was never once told anything more.
Do I have a case here? Is there an actual written requirement for me to see the costs beforehand?
Hope this all makes sense
