    Hey, I'm new to Mullingar and I need to find a local dentist. I have a feeling that I'll need a fair bit of work done. Can anyone recommend a good dentist with reasonable fees?

    Thanks!

    Not sure what the name of the guy is, but there is one brilliant fellow working out of the dental surgery upstairs in Mary Street. It's not his own practice, but he's Nigerian, and absolutely brilliant. I'm a nervous patient in a dental surgery, but this guy will do the work for you no problem, and fees very reasonable. He will not do work that doesn't need to be done either!

    when will dentists realise that the person in the chair is
    1 terrified
    2 afraid of the bill
    3 wondering about the state of their mouth and breath

    go easy on us poor people.

    we are mortals

    we know! things have changed. i can't speak for anyone else's experience of patrick murray but i had a fair bit of work done by him when i was a kid and it was plain sailing.

    try having his knee on you chest as he is pulling your tooth.
    2 attempts were made
    both very uncomfortable and lasting too long
    finally he got it out and seemed to think everything was normal with the extraction.
    years later ruane removed the opposite tooth with one clean jerk.
    no pain.

    good dentist. best one around
    :D

    perhaps new thread needed
    the horror stories of mullingar dentists
    you will be surprised with the results

    as a german national
    i can take the pain, as in germany no anestethic was given when fillings were given to us as children

    i can remember the pain of the drill hitting the nerve.

    do you also doubt this?

    not at all, i've had a few german patients requesting no anaesthetic and to be honest i don't like it. even in my own case when i've had some deep fillings with strong anaesthetic it can still pinch a fair bit which made me jump a bit. the anaesthetic is just to increase comfort and co-operation. i honestly don't get why so many continentals (it's a western european thing mainly) ask for no anaesthetic. the initial scratch of the needle isn't worth worrying about compared to the drill getting close to the nerve.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 drave


    i would always ask for anestethic.
    as kids we had no choice. it was done thru schools and we had to go.
    my own mother would not come into the room after seeing the pain and terror in my eyes after the first filling,

    after a visit last year to germany, we talked about this.
    my cousins and friends are all terrified of the dentist.

    opened new thread for bad expirience stories

    i think there might be a few

    can you tell me if cleaning and check up are still free thru prsi
    have not been to dentist in 8 years
    afraid of the result


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,939 ✭✭✭ballsymchugh


    just one check up a year now unfortunately. it all changed at the last budget. very quietly killed off too.

    so if i contact my dentist and ask for free cleaning and check up?
    once a year is fine

    i have been paying prsi for 18 years now
    i should be ok?
    help is good from you
    might go and get them dam tartar of my gums. i think it also causes bad breath?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,939 ✭✭✭ballsymchugh


    no, you don't even get the free cleaning now. it's just the check up. remember to raise the years of paying PRSI when the next election comes around and people knock on your door.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 drave


    the door is always shut into their face.
    what will they ever do for us.
    once they get enough votes and get they forget the promise made to us.

    not the same subject
    that one could go on forever.

    we will always loose to bigger fish


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,625 ✭✭✭AngryHippie


    +1 for Ruane, Fantastic dentist, sorted out wisdoms and fillings for me.
    Not to hard on the wallet either. give him a try 1st, if your disappointed I'd be very surprised.

    My Mum absolutely hates dentists.
    She went to a children's dentist in Waldron's practice on Castle Street and said he was great.
    She can't remember his name though :(

    I've had my teeth cleaned twice by Waldron, first time it felt like he was hacking away my gums but the second time wasn't sore at all.
    Gave me a discount for being a student too :)

    The dentist in Castle Street is Dr. Brendan Higgins. He very good and was voted best priced dentist in Ireland in Farmers Journal - article in his waiting room. He also does sedation if you nervous. Would def recommend him.
