Could you recommend a gentle and patient dentist within the Castlebar/Co. Mayo area?

Hello everybody,

I’d be ever so grateful if someone out there could recommend a gentle and patient dentist in the Castlebar area or within Mayo County. I’m absolutely terrified of dentists!! I’m very ashamed to admit this, but I haven’t been near one in years. I’m determined to take this matter in hand this year though, so if you can suggest someone suitable, that would be really great!!

Our guy just above the Bank of Ireland in Castlebar is fantastic:

Certainly nothing to be ashamed about! I'm lucky that the dentist doesn't bother me at all. If it's any consolation, I'm actually just out of the dentist and it was easy. Pain relief/procedures have advanced so much that you will be surprised how gentle your visit will be!

All the best.

I go to Galway. Caitorina Long, very patient and pain free.

Yeah, I think you'd have to be unlucky to have a bad experience with a dentist these days. I had a filling replaced by Bairbre at Rosemary Smith's clinic in Westport a few weeks ago, and it was literally a completely painless experience from start to finish.

Rosemary Smiths practice won a national award for sensitive dentistry last year or the one before. I go there myself and they are excellent.

Hello everybody,

Thank you so much for your recommendations and advice. It was all very much appreciated. I'm even more determined than ever now to get over my dentist phobia and have my teeth looked after by a professional.

-1, had a rotten molar, and he put a filling in on top of it rather than get it out.

I would highly recommend Patrick Wiseman on Ellison St in Castlebar. He is excellent.

Heard good things about fairy tooth mother so i booked in for a cleaning because my own dentist couldnt take me at short notice. She did a checkup for about 15 minutes and then started packing away. I asked, what about the cleaning? She said the time slot i booked was just for a checkup and would not do the cleaning until another time. I wouldnt mind only i I had specifically asked for a cleaning on the phone, i wouldnt have bothered otherwise. I was more than a bit miffed at this stage so i just wanted to get out of there.
So then while her assistant is putting together a quotation for all the work i supposedly needed to have done (much of which i found out from my own Dentist afterwards was unecessary) she then gave me a 15 minute sales pitch for this snake oil crap

She could have cleaned my teeth in that space of time!:mad:

I ended up leaving €50 worse off and still with stained teeth. Never again
