    Depends if you're going to the dentist as well. :D

    Sorry Sorry Sorry!!!!!!!!!!
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    Ok, i have the advice leaflet infront of me (meant to be going tomorrow but my babysitter has cancelled grrrr!) and it says:

    Can i have sex before the test?

    If you use a spermicide, a barrier method of contraception or a lubricant jelly, you should not use these for 24hours before the test as the chemicals they contain affect the test.
