Dental hygienist

I just phoned the Gardens dental centre to make an appointment with the hygienist.


I was told I had to pay a deposit - fair enough, I was happy to do that.


But THEN I was told I had to go there in person to pay the deposit. FFS! It's pissing with rain! It's a twenty minute (at least) round trip!


Surely they can take card payments over the phone? On their website, it says call them to book your appointment, which clearly you can't do if you have to trek down there to pay the deposit.


In any case, I think the person I used to see at The Gardens has left.


So - can anybody recommend a good dental hygienist elsewhere in the area? And indeed a dentist, as I think I may move altogether now, and the excellent dentist I used to see there has left :(

I'd highly recommend the North Cross Road dentists called Smile. My hygienist there is Jack - he's brilliant. They do require a deposit, but you can make this by card, over the phone.


I also think if you call up on the day the hygienist is cheaper - but this only works if they have space and you have that flexibility!


Good luck!

A second recommendation for Jack at Smile. It's also handy that you can just make appointments with a hygienist there without having to see a dentist first. I'm not quite so keen on the dentists,I used to see them but due to an ongoing problem that wasn't dealt with satisfactorily ( long boring story !)I have changed to the East Dulwich dentists on Forest Hill Rd and am very happy with them.

How weird!


Maybe it was a new receptionist?


Or maybe they thought I didn't sound trustworthy!!!! I've been going there for years (before it moved to The Gardens) but they didn't ask my name!

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      By sjsl · Posted

      It's such an uneven provision, I live just west of E Dulwich towards Herne Hill/Dulwich Village and there are four Post Office counters within 10 mins walk max. They are all in local shops and provide a great service.

      DRJ Builders - Highly recommended!

      By GDG · Posted

      Wanted to come on and do a review for DRJ Builders as I know how hard it is to find good quality and reliable builders in the area! David O'Brien and DRJ Builders are more than that - they are an absolutely brilliant building firm who we can highly recommend. We used them to do a side return extension, loft extension and full house renovation in 2016. They did such a great job, we have just used them again to add on a new rear extension to the ground floor in 2025. David is great to work with from start to finish and has a fantastic team of tradespeople who always deliver a very high standard of work. Would highly recommend them. You can get David on 07960 938621.

      They do have other lockers where you can drop off parcels, as well as some shops who will take them. If you use the Royal Mail app, or website, you can also arrange for collection of parcels from your house. The service is actually pretty good (and a lot easier than going to the post office). There are a lack of Royal Mail lockers though. Would be good to get some more - perhaps one on North Cross road? They don't need to be outside the Post Office necessarilly.

      In a similar  vein, are there any charity shops actually taking donations at the moment? ( after the usual post  Christmas chucking out phase, noone would take my things last week, they had too much already).
