The Risks of Dental Tourism

Just read this article - It just shows how dangerous and COSTLY it can be to go abroad for what you think is CHEAP dentistry. We always say, whilst good dentistry may not be cheap; cheap dentistry definitely isn't good. What seems cheap to begin with can cost much more than having a good job done in the first place as this person found:

On Call Weekend

To ensure our patients have access to Same Day Emergency Dental Care at weekends we participate in an on call rota with other local dentists. This weekend is our weekend on call. It's not been too busy and yesterday we had the opportunity to help a lady who had a front crown sheared off at gum level. She had been looking forward  to a family meal last night and would not have been able to go without our help. We always try to ring patients the next day if they have had more complex work but she is not answering this morning, we will try her again later. Hopefully the meal went well and she was able to enjoy herself.
