Dont laugh but i have booked a dentists appointment or the 15th May. Am going private as cant get a NHS one for love or money. Its in T####### near me and has a ramp for disabled access and is all ground floor so no access isssues for me. I have not been to the dentist for a long time. But I need to go as theeth are in a bad way. This place was recomended to me as very good for nervous people. I blabbed this to the nice lady on the phone and she was very kind and nice saying we get all kinds theres nothing to worry about at all. The nice thing is that they are all lady dentists (sorry men). A staff member is going to go with me so thats reasurance for me . So while am i cacking it. I know its going to cost a lot but i have money in a another account so thats ok. (not over the benifitt savings limit)

Take a deep breath and go........poor mouth care can be so disruptive to ones system and can have awful effects on your system. It's really, really not painful nowadays and might not be as bad as you fear. I always reckon on dividing the bill by 52 ....weeks in the year.....will NOT suffer toothache. Money well spent for a glorious gleaming set of nashers.........
 
Another point about private dentists is that if you have a desperate need, they will always find an appointment for you......but at a cost!!
 
Gail, I went private in desperation a couple years ago and honestly the difference is amazing. I'm so much more at peace with going to the dentist, attend all my check ups now and they help me take so much better care of my teeth to prevent them going wrong. They explain things so gently and kindly and nothing is rushed. It's a whole different experience.
 
My NHS dentist got struck off and there were no others with space in the area so I had to go private. I'm glad I did, the NHS one was brutal!
