Well - his office says that.
Unfortunately no one has told Tony, who in a positive flood of apology has added NHS dentistry to his list!
Daily MailHow 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.0 -
Good heavens I am shocked. One would almost think Tony and/or his office were incompetent or telling lies. I feel the very foundations of the universe beginning to shake!"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."

NHS dentists cutting back on complex treatments

Well done Toothsmith,
I fully support your posting.
Access to a NHS dentist is absolutely appalling for anyone living in the Rotherham area. One year after the introduction of the new dental contract all dentists in the area still have closed books.
I invite you to sign my online petition sent to the Prime Minister via the 10 Downing Street website. The process is quite simple using the link below:

If you are interested yourself, perhaps you will know other people who have been affected by the problems and might also be interested in adding their names to my petition.
Thank you in advance for taking a little of your time to consider this matter.0 -

This is the reply to that petition received by the people who signed it just yesterday.
Odds are that you'll get exactly the same reply.
