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!

      Family holiday - south of France - by train?

      By Moovart · Posted

      Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.

      Family holiday - south of France - by train?

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.

      Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
