What's the secret? How do you even find one?

What a joke that is,I applied 8 months a go and got a letter to tell me my appointment is another 2 and a half months away

The secret is to keep popping in to the dentist and asking if they're taking on patients. I was lucky getting an appointment within a fortnight, a clean bill of health and a recommendation that another checkup wasn't necessary for a year.

Here I am smiling about it afterwards

Nice one To be honest I havent looked for a few years but I did about 5 years ago when my dentist went private. I even asked the WA health minister where I could find an NHS dentist inCardiff.She declined to answer. The dental situation in Wales was a joke with the new rules affecting dentists so most went private. Those that did go NHS had scenes like this:

Contact your local primary care trust who will inform you when one becomes available. Then it depends how good they are. I think the really good NHS dentists always take on the relatives of people already on the books so spaces never come up. I'm with a new local NHS practice, all foreign dentists and the check up lasts 5 minutes max. My old NHS dentist who retired, 15 minutes for a check up. I'm not very happy about it.
