Hi Doc Alan,Originally Posted by Doc Alan
Did you ask for an appointment at 2.30 (tooth-hurty...)
But, to take this thread seriously, and with no dentist on the forum (to my knowledge), I have to say that all dentists allowed to practise by the UK General Dental Council are highly professional. They don't enjoy causing pain to their patients in the course of treatment ; indeed, it's highly stressful to them. Modern dental treatment is immeasurably better than even a few years ago, with the emphasis on conservative dentistry and far better pain control. This applies here and in the Philippines.
As I said I am one of thoes really scared of going to the dentist, I realise it sounds stupid but I am.
I did used to go regularly to try and avoid pain, but my then dentist went private and I was relived I could not find anouther here on the Isle of Wight.
I have heard od some dentist that will take un people like me, but how do I find one?
If age has anything to do with it I am 66.
Thanks,
Mick.
