Dentists

Post by Jenny »

Hello

This is my first post so apologies if I'm repeating a well worn question.

I've lived in Sydenham for a few years but have never got round to registering with a dentist. However, persistent toothache is driving me to do it :(

Can anyone recommend a good dentist in the area?

Thanks

Ive been using Mr Bandlish in Gypsy Hill for ten years. When I first arrived in Sydenham ten years ago had a terrible toothach and he came out at 2 in the morning. Saw him at his surgery the follwing day, a Sunday, and he only charged me the NHS rate. Good dentist and a nice man.

Hiya, i've used the one in Lawrie Park rd for at least 20 years.
take your pick there is a lady called Margaret who is lovely but she only does a few days per week, then there is another lady and a couple of men.
I have used them all for myself and my children over the last 20 years and have never had a problem with them.
Good luck :lol:

Hiya Leaf,
no i must admit i don't remember that loo, but then i was young once and didn't need it as often as i do now haha.
Do you remember the beautiful wooden panelling on the walls? because that is still there, its worth a visit just to see it all.

:lol: im sure you're bum is very special annie!


i'll rephrase;

maybe the toilet is so special and of historical interest that mere customer bums arent allowed.

is that any better :?
