Dentists - Are they worth the money?
Speaking gibberish on internet talkboards since last Michaelmas. Plus here on Twitter -
Sainsburys have started opening clinics that will presumably be using foreign tooth-doctors. I would, if it were cheap, local and convenient. Might be a bit of a pilava at the check-out though: got a loyalty card, want cash back, scale and polish?

Personally I would rather just fork out for someone locally.Comment

I've got a very good very local dentist who's private and used to treat my sons on the NHS, but since the new NHS contracts he's gone totally private.
He's not cheap, but his work is superb and my sons have absolutely no fear of dentists unlike an awful lot of people that I know.Comment

I use Denplan, £12 a month."I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win. If they're not good enough, they'll not win - and they can't look at anybody else, whether it is referees or any other influence." - Walter Smith
On them! On them! They fail!Comment

Belgium is the place - excellent private treatment for half the price of over here and they work evenings.Comment

There are certainly some advantages of going to Hungary, not least Helga and Olga whilst you're 'recuperating' in your hotel room.
I trust private dentists in the UK about as much as I trust my agent. After about 10 years of not needing anything more than the odd filling re-doing with my old (and sadly now retired) NHS dentist, who I'd been with since a nipper, this private only mofo I've been using seems to find a new excuse to extract money (if not teeth) every time I step into the place.

Brushing?
I thought mouthwash was the modern replacement? The ads tell us it removes more plaque and kills 99.9% of 'bad' bacteria. What the hell are they selling, Domestos!?
I even use whisky, it's cheaper and has more alcohol content, which seems to be the main active ingredient. See, nice pearly whites.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it
