Is there a review site or a rating system/league table?
Needs a new NHS dentist closer to home but would like to know that they're pretty good with porcelain jackets.
I'd be happy if they just sent me a letter to remind me when i'm due a check-up 🙁
The dentist in Bristol was amazing, the one in Manchester not so much. As with most thing I think recommendations count for a lot!
Have a look at the cars parked ouitside, big flash cars mean lots of nhs work, as its guaranteed work for them.
in a job i had delivering to dentists met some lovely ones, great chatty manner etc, but never had their hands in my mouth though.
2 i met as a patient, i thought they had been trained by the dentist in Marathon Man, so much pain after meeting them.

My wife had loads of work done on an implant via a dentist who only does private work. he has several cars including a ferrari (brand new, not "classic"). Really good dentist, mind you, my wife HATES dentists but was fine going to see him - I just can't afford his private fees for regular dentistry, much as I'd like to send her there.
back to the OP, it's always worth asking around.
The best dentists have green, broken teeth and mustard gas breath.
Like the best mechanics drive proper heaps of shite.
Look after others but no their own!
As per derek above. Wife is a dental nurse and her dentist she works for has bad teeth. NHS dentist she works for has many eastern block dentists and she wouldnt have her teeth looked at by most of them. The polish one she works for , she says is fantastic at her work tho'. She refuses to work for the others. As for a good dentist? Thats a tricky one. You do put your trust in what they are doing is the correct thing for your teeth. Whether or not is a different matter. A colleague had 4 appointments with different dentists for the work he needed on a tooth. The private ones came out hideously expensive and the NHS ones were cheaper and not all wanted to do the same things Seemed the private ones want to root canal, cap, do this and that and the NHS was to take it out. If you can find a good dentist on the NHS, you would save a lot of money. In the end he had the tooth taken out and was over a grand cheaper and on further inspection was the correct thing to do, as it was beyond help.
NHS dentists do work very hard and they sadly have points to make to get funding from the government to make wages. Not all dentists drive around in Ferraris. Private dentists make a lot of chat and make the visit longer to make their money from you. Thats why my wife wants to go into private dentistry. She would go down from on average of 36 patients a day to sterilise the equipment to about 20.
