Dentist
 
All I can say is WOW.

My Australian dentist puts the NHS dentist I went to see when on holiday back home for 2 weeks to utter shame.

I had a bit of tooth break off when eating chocolate back home. Not a small bit of tooth but quite a big bit. So U.K dentist fills it in . Tells me that the tooth will need pulled out and is totally rotten. Plus his injection hurt like hell :mad: and I had a sore jaw for about a week and a half.

My dentist in Tassie, tells me no your tooth just needs a proper filling after doing an xray. The tooth is NOT rotton. The injection to num my gum was not painfull at all. And he made the tooth look a nice pearly white too. Cost $380 for 2 fillings that I needed but I think it was well worth it.

I love Australia looks like they train their dentists properly here at school!!! :thumbsup:

If there's anyone in Melbourne looking for a dentist, let me know. My brother in law has just opened a new practice in East Melbourne, with state of the art technology.

His old practice was in Covent gdn, london. He is by far the best dentist I have ever visited (and I've visited a few!) so I can genuinely recommend him.

cheers

One crap dentist in the UK and they are all bad? The private ones all charge like wounded bulls, yes, but they do that in OZ too.

I've got good dentists here in Hampshire and also in Redfern (NSW).

The only difference I noticed is that in the UK the hygienist works separately to the dentist.

I have very good dentist here in GC, he's just so lovely, I also had very good dentist in Glengel in SA, he was very good too.:thumbsup:

I also had very good one in UK, but she was private.

I am sure that not all dentists in the U.K are all bad but I have seen quite a lot of dentists in the U.K, and none have been up to the standard of the one I see here.
