Dentists in the North West
I Hear that it's almost impossible to get a Dentist in area as they don't take on new National Health Patients???

Re: Dentists in the North West
It's the same everywhere, Kes......the dentists argue there just ain't enough money in NHS work...but I suggest you contact Hyndburn & Ribble Valley PCT.....they should advise you on the nearest dentist taking up NHS patients - you may have to travel though...

Re: Dentists in the North West
I had been with my dentist lawson's on avenue parade for 30 years, when he semi retired he only would see his private patients took me 18months to find someone to take me on.now at antley villa, used to work there when i left school seems funny to be back there now even if it's only as a patient.

Re: Dentists in the North West
I go to Accy Victoria hospital anyway. They are my dentist people. I have a very bad phobia
 of needles so i was referred there. They are very very understanding. ;D |

Re: Dentists in the North West
Cheers for the info,I am thinking about moving out of London? And thought about moving back to the Hyndburn area but I heard that it was very hard to get a dentist in the area and by the way Janet mine used to be Lawsons back in the early 80's.Then before that the Health Centre in the middle of town that was near the library.Don't know if it's still there?Well at least I know that one can get emergency treatment at the hospital. ;D

Re: Dentists in the North West
Are you still looking for a dentist Kes?
If so, definitely try Antley Villa on Blackburn Rd. Been there for about 3 years myself now and would definitely recommend them. In particular my dentist, Dr Master, who everyone refers to as Khalid. Really nice guy.

Re: Dentists in the North West
Sorry Cazzer can't endorse your reccomendation. The Dentist I saw a few years back was rude and had bad breath. He made me feel very uncomfortable and I most definatly wouldn't go back.

Re: Dentists in the North West
Think Khalid's only been there about 18 months, took over from my old one. He's brill. Plus there are a few other dentists there now. Mine always wears a mask when I see him so I wouldn't know if he had breath or not! ;D
