Hi hope someone can advice

Is it easy to go from one NHS dentist to another NHS dentist?
Do I have to find one then cancel my name on the NHS dentist I see now?

Im not happy with the one I see now:(

    Is there just the one dentist at your practice.
    I recently changed mine within the practice with just a request to the practice manager.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    You dont have to say you dont like one of the brothers.
    All you have to do is request a transfer, they dont have to know why.
    If they ask (the dentists wont) ,but the manager might, just say its for personal reasons.

    Give it a try if its a convenient practice.

    I swopped dentists within my practice I'm NHS, but that was coz had a major run in with my dentist, had the PCT trust involved, I asked about finding another NHS dentist, and in our area it was at least 2 yr wait.

    Is there any chance you can grin and bear it, not sounding awful, but nhs dentists are like hens teeth.....
