My Dental Care 141 Myddleton Rd. I no longer live around there but I still travel to Bowes Park twice a year for a check-up. They are great!

Oooh thanks - that's a great recommendation!   I will walk along to see them on Monday. 

Cheers, Jessica

I second this recommendation! I've been twice since I moved here. Very efficient, professional and friendly.

thanks so much - I am desperate.  I have been with my dentist for ten years, but he died a couple of years ago and since then I have lost all confidence in the person the practice passed me on to.  Everything that's done in my mouth has been a complete disaster.   Thank you so much to both of you for suggesting an alternative.

N11 practice is where I go - seem pretty good. Main thing is they explain all treatment options and give you the decision. Unfortunately the dentist who I had some treatment from has left & I suppose that's the main thing. They put you onto 12 month inspections if you impress them with your flossing etc.!

I would highly reccomend Brightside dental sugery on Maidstone rd (nr the tube station) they have both private and NHS as an optin for treatment.

 

Ihave had some long term tratment with them and they have been fantastic.

Karen, thanks so much!   They look very good and professional.   I sent an e-mail yesterday to the first choice I was sent, so if I don't hear back from them today I will get in touch with these.  I am also recommending both these dentists to my friend who is in the same situation as me - we both had the same dentist who was great, but when he died the service went downhill...

Thank you so much for this.

well if its any consolation, I went to a consultant with a long term dental problem that i was experienceing and basically he said if all dentists were as good as mine he would be out of a job!! so that is good to know! :-)

Hi Karen, thats good to know. Who is your dentist? Its worth asking for that dentist in particular.

I just got back and I have to say I am impressed.  I was very nervous, but the receptionist was lovely and welcoming and  the dentist explained everything to me in words I could understand! :)  I can't tell you what a relief it is to have found someone else and very near to home too.  I start the treatment in March and in the meantime I have a prescription for infection. 

Thanks to all who gave me suggestions. Much appreciated.

Kathleen
