I never went to mine for about 5 years but when I did he still had me on his books (phew!).
He isn't cutting edge (no pun intended) but he is NHS.

You make it sound like it's a choice! The whole point is that it isn't!
I've got an NHS dentist and have to say I've not had a problem finding one myself. However, the dentist that my family all used to go to has now been private for years. I think it's disgusting that even so called NHS treatment comes at a price!

Sorry, I thought you just said you went to a dentist in Devon. That's not Devon as in between Dorset and Cornwall?
I'm sure that's the Devon Minty means. Do you know of another Devon, Bounty?

With all the recent publicity, who has still got an NHS dentist?
I don't think there is an NHS dentist who accepts new patients in the whole of Cornwall. My dentist (in Devon) still works for the NHS however I don't know whether they accept new patients or not. The NHS charge recently went up by more than double. It's still cheaper than the private charge but still a big leap.

Holland is an old name for part of the Netherlands. It's not a country in its own right.
People from Finland are called Finns...

there is only 1 dentist taking on new nhs patients in the area and they are quoting at least a 6 month wait just to get on their list, i have had to justify staying with mine by reasoning that at least i know him and he is a really good dentist where as changing would mean trusting someone new ( i really hate dentists lol) to do the work and they will still charge £150, better the devil you know time

The sad thing is I don't think the dentists' price hike is going to make people look after their teeth any better than they did before.

it took me years to find one i felt at ease with and trusted lou, which is why i would prefer to stay with him and pay the extra rather than have to start trying to find a new one, which was pretty near impossible here before these changes

You must be the only girl who comes out crying when he tells you that you don't need a filling today!

They get along so well that they decide to go to the girl's place.
A few drinks later, the guy takes off his shirt and then washes his hands.
He then takes of his trousers and washes his hands again.
The girl has been watching him and says, "You must be a dentist."
The guy, surprised, says "Yes....how did you figure that out?"
"Easy," she replied, "you keep washing your hands."
One thing led to another and they make love.
After they are done, the girl says, "You must be a really good dentist."
The guy, now with a boosted ego says, "Well yes, I'm a good dentist. How did you figure that out?"
"I didn't feel a thing!"
