largeginandtonic Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Can anyone recommend a good dentist for my 4 year-old girl in east dulwich? Needs to be someone who's kind and ideally a woman.

Fuschia Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I can recommend Katherine, in Clapham http://dentalclinique.co.uk/NHS, and she actually posts on this forum. Easy (paid) parking.

Moos Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 We've just taken our son to the dentist for the first time, and can heartily recommend the lovely, gentle locum dentist (an Irish lady) who saw him. Actually, I say the first time but it was really the 2nd... the first time, he completely refused to let her look in his mouth, but she was very unruffled and just let him play in the chair. The second time we prepared a bit better, and were fortunate enough to come across a book called Harry And The Dinosaurs Say Raahh! in which a little dinosaur-loving boy goes to the dentist. So we practised saying Raaahh! for the dentist and it went very smoothly.

Pickle Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 My 2.5 year old son recently had his first "check up" at the dentist on Forest Hill Road (a few doors along from the Herne pub) - the lady dentist there was very patient, managed to get him to open his mouth, and he was chuffed with his sticker and balloon! She's also great with nervous adults :-$ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7474-dentists-for-children/#findComment-236173 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 ncx rd one is nhs and was easy when i registered last year. i was with another ED dentist previously and again nhs registration was fine. i see mr daly now on ncx rd and he's lovely - puts you at ease and doesn't rush - prefers to do a thorough job.

Pickle Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 The dentist I use (Forest Hill Road) is an NHS dentist, and it was as simple as filling in a form with my son's details :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/7474-dentists-for-children/#findComment-236521 Share on other sites More sharing options...
