D P & G J B Cottam

I’ve been with this dentist — which takes NHS as well as private clients — since forever. I’ve had evil looking wisdom teeth removed here, sat through root canal treatment that was all sadly reminiscent of the torture scene in Marathan Man (not their fault at all by the way — they were lovely — it’s just not very nice) and had my teeth scaled and polished to a nice pearly white.
The staff — receptionists and dentists alike are all very nice, calm and professional and they have put up with me being consistently rubbish about turning up on time — usually thanks to the number 11 being its usual unreliable self. As well as offering standard treatments they have a hygienist and a range of cosmetic services available.
When I had my wisdom teeth out the procedure was so noninvasive that I was able to go back to work after (although given how spaced out I was on local anaesthetic and the fact my then partner made me run for the bus I’m not sure this was such a brilliant idea)
And another thing — not only do they sells a range of toothbrushes, floss, pokey stick things (for cleaning between the gaps — they look a bit like pipe cleaners) they have a really good range of magazines available too — no two year old copies of Take a Break here.
