Rang the dentist yesterday to book a checkup.

No problem they said , we can fit you in 3.30pm yesterday, 10.00am today plus a selection for the rest of the week.

A year ago you had to wait a month to get in for routine stuff.

Have people died or are they not spending on their teeth?

Cheers

If you don't have to go because of pain, it is something you will put off. At

I tried to book a check up for my daughter in september first available was next week although that could be due to the fact I wont let her miss school for dental appointments.

From my experience locally the reason is a lot of people are migrating from private to the new NHS dentists that are opening up. At the one I use there are 5 dentists, one Polish, one Russian, two Portuguese and a Sri Lankan. Two surgeries have opened in the last couple of years.

I can get an appointment within 24 hours and they even ring the day before an appointment to remind me. Only once have I had to wait more than 10 minutes when attending the surgery.

Probably the only thing Labour has got right apart from banning hunting :O)

My mate Greg, (the dentist of course) told me I have the firmest tooth he's ever seen with no plaque. I told him I call my tooth Saul cos 's all there is. :O)

Just kidding, I've got two really .... heh! heh! heh!
