Dentists Reviews

My Experience: I have just been to the dentist this morning after 5 years of not having an appointment. I initially stopped going because I had a nasty experience with a scale and polish; then because of fear of the cost (I was registered with a private dentist), but then when I went to have a check up, I'd been taken off the register owing ...  Read the complete review

I have a love/hate relationship with my dentist. I'm not one of those people that dread going to the dentist or get really nervous before I sit in the chair but I do get very uptight about handing over the bill at the end. Why on earth does it have to be so expensive? I happen to have good teeth so I walk in, sit down for two minutes, get given ...  Read the complete review

We all love to hate going to the dentist, and really, whats not to like, a stranger sticks his rubberised fingers into your mouth while you lay on your back staring at the ceiling in safety specs feeling a right twit and worrying if despite 4 brushings this morning you might still have bad breath. However, most of us grudgingly accept ...  Read the complete review

I have a very very real phobia for of Dental Surgeries, but I have found that I am in a unique position- the dentists are afraid of me- very very afraid. They are so afraid that they refused to treat me, including my local Hospital- they just were not willing to treat me. One London Hospital also declined, in fact it took me five years ...  Read the complete review

I was so amazed when I moved to this area of Northampton from another town as I expected I would have to go private having had to give up my life long NHS dentists where I grew up however I was fortunate enough to ring Duston Dental Practice when they were taking on NHS patients and as such I get my treatment at a cheaper rate than a private ...  Read the complete review

This review is about my very real phobia about visiting the dentist. I hope it will help you to understand something about phobic reactions and may help if you have any phobias. Last Sunday I woke up with toothache. I felt severe pain and dread! I am phobic about visiting dentists. I don't mean I don't like it very much, I mean I am ...  Read the complete review

As a child I had regular 6 month check ups with my local dentist, but did have 1 bad experience with a different dentist within the practice - where he gave me a filling without a local anaesthetic which put me off for a while, by which time they'd taken me off their list. It was the time when problems first started appearing in ...  Read the complete review

I've not exactly had the best time with dentists to be fair. When i was younger i was fitted with a brace which was the start of my problems. From the start i apsolutely hated it, it wasn't your regular run of the mill train track brace, this was more of a contraption. It was a plate which was designed to try and flatten my top front teeth and ...  Read the complete review

Having just returned from a visit to my dentist, I thought I ought to share my experience with you. Around three years ago, I went for a routine appointment, only to be told the dreaded news, that yes, two teeth were giving cause for concern and at my next appointment, I would possibly need two fillings. Okay, I said, and off I went, ...  Read the complete review

To start off let me give you a bit of a background of the people around me and how they feel about going to the dentist. My mum has had her fair share of dental work done poor lady but she still goes regularly. I have to go along with her for each visit even if it's just a clean to hold her hand. My dad's last visit according to him was a filling ...  Read the complete review

This review has two functions-first to give some hopefully helpful advice to those who have a dental phobia and secondly to recommend a great dental surgery. As someone who didnt visit the dentist because of a phobia for 10 years it got to the stage where I eventually got an infection and had to go and have four teeth removed. I was in ...  Read the complete review

I hate dentist's as much as the next person, i don't think many people actually enjoy the experience of visiting our dentist, but it has to be done every once in a while, so our beloved teeth can get the regular care they need. We can do everything in our power to try and avoid the dentist like brushing twice a day, flossing, use mouthwash, but if ...  Read the complete review

I moved house from the Isle of Wight a few years ago and in doing so I lost my NHS dentist. I moved to Southampton and couldn't find an NHS dentist for love nor money and there was no way I could afford to go private! I didn't have any problems or concerns but was aware that I needed a professional to keep an eye on the bits I couldn't see! (my ...  Read the complete review

I have not been to a dentist in over 13 years and was terrified (before today) of seeing one. I had what i thought to be a very bad back tooth it had chipped and was black at the core, i finally built up courage to see a dentist (through moving house and walking past one every day). I realized it had to be done or things were only going to get ...  Read the complete review

One or two of you reading this review will have chipped their tooth in the last year or so and not had it fixed and, like me, waiting for it to get painful before seeking out a dentist. It's a horrible moment when your tongue searches out an anomaly in your mouth and you soon realize its not a piece of bread crust or chicken bone lodged between ...  Read the complete review

We as a nation keep being told that more money is being pumped into the dentistry health service but as yet I have seen little sign of any more NHS Dentists being provided in this country especially in Scotland. Maybe it is all happening down in the southern area as Northern Scotland is finding it hard to provide dentists to those that need them. ...  Read the complete review

The 3 Words "I've Got Cancer" are words that anyone dreads to hear or even say. These are the 3 words I heard from my Mam about 8 years ago. She rang me at work and I just thought she was going to ask me round for tea or see if I wanted to go shopping. I nearly dropped the phone, my Mam was in tears and within seconds so was ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit that I'm a coward as far as dentists go and I may have brought some of my troubles upon myself. But can you honestly say that regular check-ups are that important to you? My problems started about two years ago, but it wasn't until March of this year that they became so bad that I could hardly eat, sleep, or even think about ...  Read the complete review
