Telephone the Hyndburn and Ribble Valley Primary Care Trust on, 380400.
 
Thanks for that Janet.....I have not seen a dentist for 40years(shameful...I know, but I am phobic about dentists) and thought that I would probably never get on an NHS list.

All I can say is OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! (( NO DENTISTS FOR ME PLEASE I AM WITH YOU ALL))))
 
Oooh I thought it was only me who was phobic about dentists.......and my dental health is VERY POOR. Mine all stems back to the dental clinic on Cannon Street in Accrington......where you were sent from school......I was once held down by two very meaty dental nurses while the dentist filled a tooth and he drilled into a nerve,If I ever have nightmares there is alway a dentist in them.
 
I used to wonder if either of those dental nurses had children.... and if they had, would they like them to be held down the way they held me down.....if it happened today I suppose I could sue...... but it is almost 50 years ago now.
 
ooo margret i was in the same position as you oo my i thought i was the only one , when i got home mum then decided NOT to let me go to clinic & we went to burys(now antley villas dentist) he was a shade better. still i did once concer my fear & went very regular, but now cant get a, NHS one so will give this new lot a go mmmm see you in the queue happen margret.
 
I think those nightmares are a thing of the past. It's no wonder they put people off in the past but my dentist is brilliant. He's excellent with children and totally painless.

I still believe that prevention is better than cure, looking after your teeth, proper cleaning and regular check ups to avoid problems. I do have one problem with a broken tooth thanks to a certain pheasant and a bit of lead shot but that's another story. Anytime it causes me a problem I just go back and get it fixed again.
 
I have always looked after my teeth well...... but age seems to have taken over....shrunken gums and enamel weakened and a few broken teeth...... which believe it or not I filed down with a diamond nail file because I was to scared to go to the dentist. And yes, times may have changed, but I only have to see the dentists chair and I faint.

I am truly ashamed of myself......I would rather have a baby than go to the dentist.

The old joke for dentist's is......Well madam please make your mind up, because I'll have to alter the position of the chair!
 
Oh Mez, i also went to Bury. All i can say is that Bury was to Dentists what Shipman was to GPs. He was terrible, i am lucky he hasn't left me with a fear of dentists. Just writing this brings back memories of the smell of that dentist (the actual building not the dentist himself,) enough to give me nightmares.
 
ive been the dentist once since baron left the ossy surgery and moved to the antley heard a lot of rumours he was sacked from the ossy one as they had endless complaints about him personally thought the bloke was evil and cant see how hes still working in the area
 
i used to take my g/daughter to him at antley, she had an accident when she was 14yrs & chipped a chunk off her front tooth, i asked him if he could cap it or something but he was very brusq (spelling) when he said no, then i noticed his hands were shaking & he would always wear a mask o frightening, needless to say she aint got a dentist now.
