Has anyone found an NHS dentist near them?

There are none around here! I can't afford private!!!

I have one here in London, but then I'm leaving for an area with a known shortage so I'm going to get any work done before I leave.

Disgraceful situation isn't it. Come the revolution comrades all dentists will be shot. This probably won't help the shortage in the short-term though.

Jewel, how did you loose yours? I lost my house key last week but found it again by back tracking and thinking of what I've done and where I might have left them. 'Course house keys are not so bad- I can always sleep in the lab ....

I was really lucky - a new NHS practice opened up next to my old office and they let us register (haven't been for a while so have to make an appointment or I'll lose my place)

i am looking into it now too

I normally use a NHS dentist, but when I was at uni in a small Welsh town at undergrad we weren't allowed to register there: we had to use the private practice. It actually wasn't that bad: treatment was slightly more expensive than the NHS, but not as much as might be expected....
