Anna, you could try this http://www.nhs.uk/England/Dentists/Default.aspx but I reckon word of mouth (mouth! ha!) is usually best. But what do I know, I've not had a dentist for 9 years.

the previous dentist always x-rayed and always found something to do on every visit. the current one doesn't and hasn't. i'm not sure which i prefer.

and now i gotsta floss, so no more cavities, no more drill-and-fill, etc. i'm gonna be one of those nasty mofos @ work who brushes and flosses after every meal (and junks up the sink b/c of that).

Invest in a Sonicare or similar, check out the Showerfloss, use xylitol with abandon. Mr. Jaq and I have gone from having those scary bloody gum pockets to none whatsoever due to diligent application of same. Xylitol's the newest thing I've been researching - pretty amazing, can actually reverse mild instances of caries, disrupt bacterial plaque and remineralize your teeth.

but my cavity-free mouth required oral surgery a decade back for some weird gum thing and it was nofun in the extreme. I've been a stickler for regular cleanings and dental exams ever since.

The dentist is talking about sealing my molars, because the valleys are deep on them. Insurance won't cover it for an adult - has anyone else had this done? I wonder if the cost is really worth it.

Still my parents suck. I've had to put so much money into my mouth it's stupid (well above 10 grand). Damn their genes and lack of hygiene.

I dont understand this deep cleaning, bloody gum pockets (!!), wtf is wrong with you peoples mouths!? :/ I cant help feeling flossing is mostly bad for ones gums - it can cut the gums, and that isnt good. I only ever floss when I have actual food stuck in my teeth.
I am also strongly suspicous that some more shifty dentists will tell people they need cavities for no reason, to make more money. I mean obviously if you have a painful tooth, you know you need one. But what if you go for a checkup and suddenly you need a mouthful? I say - go see another dentist!

I floss every day. Probably 364 out of 365 for the last 10 years.
They were like "oMG you never ever floss we can tell from your gingivitis"
I was like "bitch when i was a kid i had real gingivitis and knoe what it feels like. I floss every night and if you are not listening to me you are a quack."
They told me I needed $1300 in dental work (no insurance) i was like fuck that i'm going elsewhere for a 2nd opinion. That was a fucking scary dentist visit.

Rainbow bum - good luck with a second opinion, sometimes I think they are just trying to pay off their in-chair tv systems and such.
