Dentists?

Hiya,

I am doing a bit of research for a friend and I wondered if you could all let me know where you go to the dentist - practice, location and even number if you have it to hand? It would really help my friends research if you could. We are lookign at the spread of dentists across the country.

Thanks everyone :)

    This is all info you can get from online directories surely? A random selection of posters here isn't going to help your 'research' much as there's no consistant demographic.

    Thanks but that is fine if you don't want to help.

    Not very scientific or rigorous method.

    Easiest way would be for your friend to go on https://www.nhs.uk and use the postcode finder. Your friend may even want to go about it in a more systematic manner by emailing the PCTs around the country to ask them to email him/her a list of dental practices in their area.

    Has this methodology been really approved?

    Ok, I am sorry that I asked. Just thought that you guys are usually so nice that you might help. We just wanted to see if there were any trends as to where people go, that is all. Guess I will find out another way. Thanks anyway.

    My local is private and NHS. My boyfriend suggested them to me as his mate's mum works there and he goes there, and they are pretty good. If you're in the Fareham/Pompey area looking let me know and I'll PM the number and the name.

    I do it all because I'm scared.
