I haven't been to a dentist for a number of years, but now my teeth are telling me it's time.
So can anyone recommend a local dentist? Is it easy to register with one?
Also I've no idea of the difference between NHS and Private.
Or even the cost of a check-up?

Karlos there is a big difference in cost between NHS and Private if you can get a NHS dentist you will save yourself a lot of money, dental treatment is not at all cheap.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Do you have to be claiming benefits/retired/etc to be on the NHS nowadays? I'm just a normal working age man.

We both have been going to smiles they are very good and we have been doing that from the day they open we are under the N.H.S, they are still taking on so get down there it only costs us £16 a vist.

Total dentalcare in Pencester Rd have been taking on NHS patients in the last month or so. They pulled my tooth out today for just £49.00. The swines!

i used to be an nhs patient at total dentalcare when they first started out, not long afterwards they only took on private patients.
i can remember lying back in the chair being drilled and reading about the benefits of going private on the ceiling - no exaggeration.
