Dental hygienist


Sue

Recommended Posts

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!

    • The Toronto is boring amused me.  I was thinking of Philadelphia but when I reconsidered, Toronto seemed the obvious place.  But my research came to your conclusion that it is in deed dull. I've been to Vancouver twice but found that surprisingly sterile too.  I'll raise your Sydney with my San Fran and Wellington, both bay cities like Vancouver but I found far more cultural.  Although that is obvious with San Fran. I've probably got myself banned from the US with this thread and my views on Trump posted elsewhere. In your suggested tour what about the towns and cities where the National Guard has been called.  That would be fun. Kansas is apparently a great place but will be frighteningly hot I expect
    • Fifa are discussing expanding it to 64 teams for the 2030 tournament South America, which would mean 128 games. That's mad. They're aren't enough hours in the day to watch that much football and I'd have to move house to find a place with enough space for my 'Super Sun World Cup Wall Chart'. There are games in Mexico and Canada in 2026, so that's an option. Mexico will be unbearably hot, Toronto will be unbearably dull - Leonard Cohen once described it as 'New York run by the Swiss' and he was spot on  -  so I'd say Vancouver. Possibly the most beautiful setting for a city outside Sydney and a great food scene. Nick over the border and there are matches in Seattle as well. The Amtrak train down from Seattle to San Francisco, another WC venue, through Oregon is staggering - and they have an observation car with a bar! Portland and Eugene are worth a couple of nights as well. That part of northern California and the Pacific Northwest is the most un-Trumpy part of the US, so I wouldn't worry too much and Vancouver is surprisingly interesting, for Canada at least. You've actually made me think about making the trip again.
