Re: What are the dentists like in Italy
All dentists are mean. Punto.
I had a tooth pulled in Italy and it was proper horror film.
I also had a small filling - different dentist which was fine.
Had the best hygienist clean in Italy too.
NHS dentistry has turned into a bit of a farce IMO. I am currently in the process of trying to find a decent UK dentist and can't.
In summary, I think there is good and bad both in the UK and Italy - just need to track em down and get recommendations and be prepared to pay.

Re: What are the dentists like in Italy
To practice dentistry in Italy i'm sure you have to be licensed as they thrive on bureaucracy and excessive paperwork here . However that doesn't mean that they are competent and there doesn't seem to be much recall if they screw up.

Re: What are the dentists like in Italy
I'm in Rome and use a dentist who is Italian but speaks perfect English. He does my children's teeth too. I am very happy with his practice. I can dig out the details if you wish.
