Any tips on finding a decent dentist. My one has decided to go on a career break. Is there a general number anyone knows of, like an NHS phone line or something. Appreciate any advice.

depends where you live
If in Scotland contact your local health board for details of NHS dentists
If in England look at the NHS direct website.
Make sure you read any small print carefull as most dentists these days provide a mix of NHS and private treatment.
Ask your friends who they go to and if really desparate look in the yellow pages!

phone nhs direct on 0845 4647 they will put you in touch with dentists in your area. Alternatively you can grab a phone book and look up dentists in your area and ring around to see if any of them are taking on patients, but nhs direct is your best option.
good luck happy hunting lol

Try NHS Direct for a list of contact numbers in your local area. Alternatively ask friends or relatives living in your area where they go.
