Hey guys,

Should I call the NHS direct line to see if I can try and get some help finding a NHS dentist in my local area?

We have this website for those in Wales:
http://www.wales.nhs.uk/

I contacted my nearest NHS dentist and asked them about registering myself with them and they asked if I was unemployed which I am and then said they can't offer NHS services because of funding issues. Why the hell do they own the domain http://nhsdentist (http://%3Cb%3Enhsdentist%3C/b%3E)cardiff.co.uk/ and advertise that they offer NHS dental care? :confused:

Anywhere, I've tried a few more numbers and they don't work. The site hasn't been updated in a while it seems, "lasted update 2006".

I've got late wisdom teeth protruding through, one has come through fine but the other is coming through at an odd angle and it looks like another tooth is in the way, the swelling is frustrating and I'd like to try and get it fixed.

because where they can they DO offer dental care.

ring nhs direct and also you could try the yellow pages, maybe some only take on for a few days at a time? given the demand id doubt they can keep their books open for long.
