i worded that badly, smiles is where paulb and mel are registered.

i was with the one in pencester, then when they took on more private patients they tried to get rid of the n.h.s ones.
they had signs all over the place telling people to go private.
last time i was in there i was laying back with a drill in my gob, looking at a sign on the ceiling telling me the benefits of going private.

Howard, I did not see those signs a few weeks ago, only the one they put up saying they could not take any more NHS patients at the moment. I am still NHS with them, my daughter and grandson are as well having joined them about a year ago.

That dentist who was the original subject of this thread had more than one unpleasant habit and way of behaving. I think this does not make him a professional or an excellent dentist, no matter how clever he might be at cleaning out and filling a cavity. I certainly would not want a Doctor or a Dentist who habitually made the V sign at me as I left, or made a smell in the surgery. I believe he was also not prepared to treat elderly or disabled patients.

To evince disdain
one may 'V' plain
or else one can be sneaky
To practice both
is as to practise, loth
and more than a little freaky
To freely pass wind
is to licence voluntarily rescind
Let's hope it was not also squeaky
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

rather strange experience with "smiles" today, popped in this morning clutching my letter from the hospital and was given an appointment for this afternoon, rather good i thought.
when i turned up i was told that i could not be seen beacuse the computer was down!!
i know some businesses cannot operate in this situation, didn't think that a dentist would be affected though, surely they can just write down what they do then update the computer later?

I too go to Smiles. Long before that I went to the dentist in the Paddock. I can't remember his name but he was a total butcher who had extremely bad breath. I had had an extraction that was "difficult". There was little or no effort to tidy me up. After walking through the town and getting home I saw that I had blood all over my face and down my shirt. People must have thought that I'd been in a fight!

i had a dodgy one when i first moved here, told everyone different stories as to where he came from and what his name was.
left me in a right state after a visit there, he ended up in front of the general dental council over loads of things, the most colourful one was trying to get his female staff to pose for rather unusual videos and photos.
im unsure of the smile dentist im at , they dont seem friendly at all and im made to feel im taking up their time

I wonder if the Smile is before or after the expulsion of wind
