is anyone scared of the DENTIST or is it just me

Hi all im the worlds worst at the dentist i end up hyper ventaling before they have even got me in the chair and i have to be put to sleep to have my teeth done. But lucky enough i have found a fantastic dentist that makes me feel relaxed  when i go to see them they are The New York Dental Practice Ferry quays Brentford   0208 570 0505At the back of the Old Fire Station Wine Bar where i held The Halloween Ball.In this weeks brentford and chiswick i found an atrical on them which was nice.page 4Dentist Scoops Top AwardForget the harley Street sparkleing smile, because the most ground breaking dentist officially resides in Brenford.The New York Dental office in Brentfords Ferry Quays development, beat hundreds of UK dental clinics to scoop the award for the most innovative dental practice in 2005.The ywo-year-old practice was presented with the award at last months prestigious Private Dentistry Awards held at the Cafe Royal in London, for its break from the traditional sterile steriotype of dentist offices to a more customer friendly initiative, popular in the US.Dr Shalin Kapoor, who owns the practice, said "I was shocked when they called out our name for the award. I thought they'd made a mistake, because it was intimidating being up against such a high class of dentists."These awards are like the Oscars of the Dental world and we are up against the best dental surgeries in England Scotland and Wales"The practice offers a movie theatre with surround sound for patients to watch a film in the dental chair while having their teeth whitened. as well as DVD goggles for anxious adults and children while dental treatment is carried out. And to celebrate the final result patients can toast with an in house refreshments from juice to cappuccino and even chilled champagne.After winning the award Dr Kapoor said " Suddenly the question everybody was asking was where is Brentford? So hopefully weve put it on the map in the dental world"The New York Dental Practice offers private and NHS care call 0208 570 0505.So from me to all of you who fear the dentist you need not anymore i should no im the worst of them all and if you happen to ever go there you can mention my name they know exactly who i am hahaCheersDebbie

"This country's Dentists are the laughing stock of the Western world"I don't think it is the dentists who are the laughing stock but the general state of British teeth.  This is not necessarily the fault of the dentists but the fact that many people do not have access to an NHS dentist.  In some parts of the country hundreds of people will queue up to register when a new NHS practice opens.In Brentford are quite lucky in that we are well served by NHS dentists, so we have no excuse for having poor dental hygiene!

This country's Dentists are the laughing stock of the Western world. Have you heard all the jokes Americans make at the expense of our teeth? Thanks for the tip Debbie, I tried the Boston Manor road one and found it to be rubbish.

The Dentist that Debbie sees must be really really good because Debs is so scared of the dentist that i used to have to take her eldest daughter for any dental appointments. Then on other occassions i have had to go to the dentist with debbie where as she goes in, you'll see her face turn as white as a ghost and start shaking!On another occassion Debbie had to go to the white house in southall to have a tooth removed, she had a general aesthetic,each time i tried to clean her mouth she would nearly be sick all over me, then she kept saying that they had pulled out the wrong tooth! so i made the dental staff check. Then i had to carry her to the car, at our mum's house i had to carry her inside!all the neighbours came out wondering what had happened to Deb.so in light of this i think that dentist is a miracle worker!ha!ha!ha! on the next trip to the white house i'm going prepared with the following item......a check of which tooth is to be removed,one sick bowl and a wheel chair!ha!ha!ha!

Went to see Mr. Bhogal this morning, and had a filling put in which is substantially larger than the rest of the tooth.Health tip - don't eat pork scratchings!

AnnGood to hear that you had a "pleasant" visit to the Dentists.Remember those days with the Gas Mask and Nitrous Oxide!!?

Debbie,We have a new young dentist in the practice which I attend, and today he filled my tooth and cleaned and polished the rest for me.  I can honestly say it was the best ever visit to a dentist. He didn't look much older than my great grandson Richard! (Well, that's an exaggeration, but he does look very young).At my age, anything to save the life of any one of my collapsing molars is a bonus, but this young man introduced himself to me and shook my hand when I walked into his surgery!    Thanks for your good wishes.

Debbie,I have a dental appointment at 11.30 a.m. tomorrow....broke a tooth eating a sweet!To cheer myself up, I thought I'd trawl through the forums to get my mind off the subject...guess what?

Dentists aren't what they used to be Debbie.  I've been to some butchers' shops in my time and have found myself screaming just having my teeth brushed, but these days they seem to be able to do everything with the minimum of pain.Mr. Bhogal at the Bridge Dental Practice in St. John's Road, Isleworth is particularly good.  If yours ever lets you down, I would strongly recommend him to you.
