I ought to get a dentists appointment. It's been ages since anyone told me that my teeth were fine but I wasn't flossing enough. So the question is, (a) would I qualify as an NHS patient assuming I could find somewhere to take me on as one and (b) do you know any good reliable dentists? Being a grown-up is so complicated!

It might be worth ringing round some practices and seeing who's likely to take people on in the next few months, even if they're not currently listing themselves as a practice accepting new patients. I had a wait a while to get enrolled with my current one, which is combined private and NHS practice on St.John's Street. My labmate tried to join after I'd mentioned my first appointment, but he found they'd already stopped taking new people again.

You could try the Rose Hill one to see if they are going to be taking new NHS patients again at some point, I think there was a waiting list when I joined, but since I hadn't been to a dentist for about 8 years a few months was somewhat moot. They wanted a deposit of about 15 quid as well, which seemed fair enough.
