Lemonade Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Great news - thanks![EDIT= Can you register on the phone or do you have to go down in person, do you know?]You have to go in in person and fill in the forms. I phoned them last week and asked them to post me a form but they wouldn't.It's Cove Dental Care, 4 Catto Walk, on the site of an old doctor's surgery.

Guest Gladstone Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Nice one - I'm in need of an NHS dentist.I'm registered (privately) in the Broch of all places. It's like a military operation getting out there for a check up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 My dentist in the Broch, who I'd being going to since I was 4, and is a lifelong friend of the family, went and turned private on me and struck me off, the cunt.

Stichman Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I haven't been to the dentist in ages. I'm going with this logic -It was fine last time I went > I have brushed and flossed regularly since > It is still fineSuits me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They strike you off after 3 years. I called them after 4 years, then had to go private. Totally wish I hadn't stopped going to the dentist. I have no problems/fillings or anything, but it is still good to get a good scale and polish every 6 months, and have peace of mind that my teeth aren't going to fall out cos I'm not going to the dentist...

Le Stu Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I really need to go soon, does it not cost to go to an NHS dentist these days? I mean, last time I went private I'm pretty sure it was quite cheap. I don't have dental insurance but my teeth are pretty solid. It's just I need them professionally cleaned.

I haven't had a Dentist since 2002. I'm pretty sure i don't have any problems with my teeth, they appear to be fine. Occasionally my gums bleed when i'm brushing my teeth but i'm sure that's nothing worth worrying about. I brush twice a day and use mouthwash (though i'm not entirely convinced of its properties). I've only ever needed one filling and that turned out to be because my wisdom tooth was slowly breaking my other tooth eventually culminating in the broken tooth being taken out.

Scale and Polish is 10.10 and if you need an x-ray it can be somewhere between 3 and 10. Other work is charged accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Cheers, min. That's way cheaper than I thought.Ditto, last time i went to the Dentist he charged me 30 for a check up and despite telling me that my teeth were fine he booked me in for a 30 scale and polish where i was treated to an experience i will never forget (imagine Rosa Klebb with dental floss). That was the end for me and i didn't go back. Hopefully Felipe will be a little nicer to me when i go in and see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think this place is about fairly average in terms of private pricesDental fees charged by our Aberdeen dentist Aberdeen dentists at Queens Road Dental Practice Aberdeen (01224) 646771 cosmetic dentists Aberdeen dentistQueens Cross Dental Practice used to have their prices on their website and it was unbelievable, it was about three times the price of everywhere else, there were things that cost about 2000. Wisely they've taken them down now, probably to try and lure more people to go then they can sting them with the prices once they've signed up!

KarmaTsunami Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I tried going to Fergus and Glover after losing my NHS dentist and there was something like a ridiculous seventy quid fee just to sign up with them? Anyway, I'm now with Morrison, Thompson and Walker on Crown Street and while it is private, it's also reasonable prices with no crazy sign-up fee.

Alphas Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Seems to be a new practice opening up on Rosemount Place as well, just down from the Queen Vic. Walked passed it today and there was a sign saying they are now taking patients. Didn't get the phone number but another option if folk are looking.

ub7rm Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Grandholm Dental Clinic - Grandholm Village, Bridge of Don, Aberdeen, ScotlandThis place seems to be taking people on in batches, up till last week they were taking on new NHS patients. Worth keeping an eye on.There is a NHS dentist in Northfield that always seems to have spaces. Going there involves parking in Byron square... take the bus.

Lemonade Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Still, I'd rather have them than not have them. I don't particuarly care for surgery (the asleep kind) and there's no fucking way I'm having him yank the bastards out of my gums while I'm awake!

Lemonade Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 That sucks. How much is that skinning you or is it free on the NHS?Should be free I think. I got a check up and a scale and polish this afternoon and when I went to the desk to make a repeat appointment she hit me with a bill for 19.93. I just paid it and then asked for a receipt so I could see what it was for, but the receipt just says "19.93 for professional dental services rendered" which doesn't really give much away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
