NHS dentist?

Lady_Fluff

Hello!

I've been a very bad Fluff and haven't seen a dentist for 5 years (I used to be fine, but the last time I saw a new dentist, they gave me an anaesthetic and I passed out in the waiting room, and it was generally a horrible, scary experience...). Well, guess what? I now have a hurty tooth It's not too bad at the mo, but it can only get worse, not better, right?!
I haven't got a dentist... I live in Trehafod in the Rhondda, but I work in Cardiff and my in-laws are in Newport - does anyone know of an NHS dentist within these areas who is taking patients on - and who is good! I'm going away in 4 weeks, and I hope I can be sorted by then, fingers crossed!

Thanks!

[edit to say:]
OK, scrap this - managed to find one in Porth! Hurrah! I promise to be a good girl from now on!

I've tried to get on an NHS dentists' list BUT the ones supposedly available will ONLY take people on benefits.
As I'm not on benefits, been self employed & now living on VERY rapidly decreasing savings & claiming nothing I am NOT eligible for anything.:mad:
Give it another year or so & I might be eligible.

I resorted to going to Turkey to have badly needed crowns/bridges as I couldn't afford to have it done here. Not that my dentist here wanted to do anything.

I'm now without a dentist here as even a check-up & polish cost me nearly a hundred. IF anyone knows of any dentists Pontypool/Cwmbran that are NHS & will take non benefit patients I'd be grateful.

You could try the one in Fairwater or the one in Caerleon
