    Q: Tell us about your experience, good and bad, with your dentist.
    A: I have been with my dentist for over 40 years and out the blue they kicked myself, my elderly father and my young sister off their register because the dentist had retired, they say they have no room for us but if we want to pay private we can stay on their books, my father and 17 year old sister have had to go private with them even though this will cripple them financially as they rely on disability benefits. I will not be paying them anything and will never go to them again, absolutely disgusting

    A: Our whole dental work tirelessly to provide a fantastic service, but you can see they are all burnt out! A once easy service is now being over stretched to make up for lack of dentists and as a result will end up in loss of more valued staff, the reform is clearly not helping or working!
