Have been to emergency dentist today but thats only a short term solution. I really do need my own dentist just struggling finding one.

Do you know the name of that one flashy?

Try Oaklea (or it could be Oakleigh) in Ossy.

Or don't....if you'd like to keep all your own teeth and not be in agony.

I've said this before on another thread. Two of my family had treatment there by foreign dentists who didn't seem to know what to do. It used to be a top place years ago but I wouldn't advise anyone to go there now.

If you call NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 they have a service which should be able to tell you which practices are taking on new patients.

I'm really surprised you say that.

We struggled getting into a dentist for month's and month's. We finally got into this one in ossy, and I think they are brilliant ( mine is anyway ) She is very thorough. She was great with my 2 kids, took her time and really made them at ease.
I am petrified of the dentist but she was great with me too. I had a filling and she never hurt me once. Mine is called Catrina...like I said, not sure what the others in the dentist are like, but she is worth her weight in gold.

Im surprised too, always found them good even if they are foreign, i have lovely Miguel, he succeeded where other dentists failed getting rid of roots that should of been taken out years ago, even hospital dentist didnt do anything yet despite the pain, Miguel sorted me out without a problem & really makes sure u are ok, constantly making sure u are too throughout

They are brill if u need emergency treatment very accommodating indeed.
