Answers:
Me too! I was at dentist last week (my 6 month check-up) and had to have a tiny filling. £42.40!!! Wot the hell is that all about?
I know I havent had any treatments for a couple of years and usually only paid about £10 for check-up and polish.
Asked about two crowns and was given price of £200 !!

Other Answers:
They are

Absolutely, I need a false tooth and they told me it would be in the thousands for an implant. THOUSANDS? for a little plastic tooth and 30 minutes work. Shocking.

of What?

Well, I reckon that with the amount of new treatments and drugs, more highly qualified practitioners and more complicated operations available, not just in dental but the whole NHS, we should expect to pay a small amount toward each treatment.

root canal and filling £300 absolutely ridiculous

It's ridiculous. try to find an NHS dentist near Gloucester.

Yes they are for those of us that have to pay, but what else can you expect from this government. Someone has to pay for the freeloaders haven't they.
