Reccomend a dentist for a coward please!

SimonMaher

Hello all,

Have been promising to go to the dentist for over a year now, and always chicken out because Im a coward when it comes to dentists. I used to have a lovely dentist in Dun Laoghaire, but shes gone off to practice in Kildare somewhere.

So, today, mid way through a Chicken baguette, the wall of one of my back teeth fell off. No pain, just gone!

I now have to go see a dentist, but still have the fear thing, so can anybody reccomend a dentist in South Dublin who doesnt like inflicting pain and might be able to see me at short notice?

Cheers in advance,

Yours cowardingly,

Pete Reed

Gary Heavey in Sandycove. A really nice guy, quite expensive though, but the best around tbh.

Good luck.

as a sidebar...

How much is a dentist check-up these days ?(no work, just a simple check-up)
Another thread suggests the average GP visit is EUR 40, so it will be near that.

Ada Murphy in tallagh, amazing dentist who knows how to use painkiller (rare that!)

If you dont mind travelling into town then you should call Dr. Hickey on Nassau St. , he's based in the Morrison Chambers. Excellent manner and extremely professional. I've had every dental problem under the sun but travelling to Dr Hickey's surgery still doesn't phase me.

Ray McCarthy in Fitzwilliam House is an excellant dentist.

ok, cant remember the name of him, but there used to be a dentist on marlborgh street, behind clearys.

had 4 teeth pulled, and felt not a thing. he is an excellent anaethnatist, and a great all round dentist. nothing but good things to say about the guy and he looked after my teeth for years.

Hmm... Well, that was the only Heavey it offered up when looking for a dentist in Sandycove...

Strange seeing as the data protection agency have him there:

And the Depratment of Social Welfare has him there:

Seems some places call him Dr. Garry Heavey, others Dr. Patrick Garry Heavey and others Dr. Patrick Heavey.

Think it's just the one guy and maybe some receptionist confusion!

I recently went to the dentist (first time in about 12 years - am terrified of them). I went to Dr. Maebh something or other in Dun Laoghaire. Was very happy with it - she was very nice and I felt no pain at all. She is in this surgery. I can't vouch for Dr. Hillary as have never used him.

Guys, maybe you should be pm-ing the phone numbers and stuff, I don't know if it matters but, I sure wouldn't be happy to have my name and address and phone number pasted all over a web site (even if it is boards), a lot of dentists pratice from there home addresses.
Just a suggestion, I was on a dental assocaition website and on there discussion boards they were requested not to post details of dentist practices

It shouldn't cause too much harm - we're only giving them extra publicity.

Those numbers and addresses are available on the web anyway

I made an appointment with this dentist based on what I read here,
I was left sitting in waiting room for almost 40 minutes after my appointed time even though I had expressed to the receptionist that I had other commitments after this appointment. I got no apology from dentist for delay and when I raised the matter with her the response was not satisfactory. I walked out and I will not be making an appointment there again! If I walked in 40 mins late, would I be seen???
