    If the picture is unavailable it is due to the patient's request.

    Seems to be a hygienist rather than a dentist at work at the moment.

    Neither operator or patient are wearing any eye protection, and the operators hair really should be tied back.
    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.

    Operator has now opened several cupboards with gloved hands having worked on the patient (Contaminating the cupboard handles) and got a bottle of mouthwash out of the cupboard still with the 'dirty' gloves on - thus contaminating the bottle as well, and handed the patient a cup of the mouthwash.

    This place's cross infection control is a joke!!!

    Dental treatment has improved immensely, even over the last 15 years, plus the relationship between patient and dentists also seems better now.
    I don't mind going to see my dentist now, and that's after a long gap of not going. I'd rather they spot something minor at a 6 month check up rather than a big problem after 5 years.

    The dentist is looking at the computer at the moment. Maybe a webcam of someone watching a dental web cam?

    Do all women lie in the chair with crossed legs?
