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.

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 :-$

Thanks everyone! Moos, where is your dentist? We have that Harry book too!


Fuschia (waves hello - hope we have another meet-up at some point) that dentist looks great but I don't have a car! I'm trying to find someone very local if poss.


Thanks for your recommendation Pickle! I don't know Forest Hill Road but will look it up..


Keep 'em coming - I will be very grateful!

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
