I despise the dentist and I try and take good care of my teeth. I have never had any fillings or…read moreproblems with my teeth but I do go to the dreaded checkup every six months to see what state my mouth is in. The services James Hull offers are as follows. Oral Health Examination Hygienist Therapy Extractions Tooth Coloured Fillings Dental Crowns Dental Bridges Dentures Oral Cancer Screening The dentist that I saw made me feel very comfortable; he showed me the equipment and guided me through everything I needed done. Every time I experienced pain he stopped work and allowed for a break. The nurse was also on hand to keep me calm and help the dentist with my mouth. After the experience I was given a few minutes to adjust my clean mouth and to sit up and let the air run to my head. I was not rushed in the slightest. James Hull offers good dentistry at reasonable prices.

Like the previous two reviewers, I really don't like the dentist. I have travelled the length and…read morebreadth of Birmingham trying to find a dental practice that I'm happy with. I've eventually come to the conclusion that the perfect one really doesn't exist, it's me who has the problem. Having said all this, in a bid to show my children that going to the dentist is absolutely fine, I gave James Hull a go. The dentist I saw was kind, allowed me to bring my baby son in with me and didn't spend ages telling me all the expensive treatments I could have on my teeth. The hygienist was good too and even allowed me to have my son on my lap during treatment as he was screaming the house down in the dental nurse's arms. The only thing that has put me off is that I was due to go back for another clean with the hygienist and they cancelled on me a few days before. Now, I don't need any excuse not to go and so I haven't bothered making a new appointment as their cancellation came by letter. If they'd phoned me, I probably would have re-booked, but a letter gave me the perfect excuse not to bother. I'll probably move on to yet another practice soon.

I've mentioned before that I'm a bit of a nightmare when it comes to the dentist, and here's the…read moreproof. Having decided not to bother going back to James Hull after they cancelled my hygienist appointment (see review), I thought I'd give these guys a try. I kept passing it on my way to visit a friend. My husband and daughter really like it. The dentist was very kind to my daughter and she got a sticker at the end of her visit, which is what it's all about, quite frankly when you're little. My husband isn't terrified of the dentist like I am and really rates the service. He's had to go a few times and really likes the dentist he sees. It's quite old fashioned I guess and is obviously a converted house or bungalow, but it reminds me of the dentist I used as a cihild (which is a good thing!) For me, the jury's still out, but then I'm a really hard customer to please. I will go back though, eventually, so I guess that's as good a sign as any for me. Also, they accept NHS.

I have attended Hughes and Owen Dental Care my whole life and have always been very impressed with…read morethe professionalism and service shown by both the dentists and the reception staff. The practice is set in the iconic Brook House in the centre of Swadlincote, which is subdivided into different areas for dental and hygienist work. Dentists have come on and gone, but all have been affable, positive and above all honest, which has always been refreshing. Disappointingly they have removed the ever present tropical fish tank in the waiting room, that used to be an effective distraction from your impending fillings etc. The magazines on offer as you wait are an eclectic mix of publications like National Geographic and Steam Engine weekly?, all of which are several years out of date! Going to the dentist is one of my least favourite things to do in life, but at least at Hughes and Owen I know that I will receive the very highest level of service.

Sarah the head receptionist is always lovely and totally understands my fear of the dentist. After having serious problems as a child I'm always going to be a regular yet my fear won't get any better. I find all of the staff here sympathetic to me and though I'm usually nervous we are always able to fit in a joke. They have recently laid down a full back garden for patients to appreciate when waiting for results to be called through or other family members to finish appointments, it's also a great area for children as this surgery holds a lot of families.

From the Receptionists to the Dentists working at Pentwyn, they always make me feel welcomed and are very friendly. Dr. David Gingell is a Dental Practitioner at Pentwyn. Having been a qualified Dental Surgeon since 1981 it has always been obvious to me that he knows what he is doing. The fact that he supports West Bromwich Albion means I have been able to have plenty of football banter with him since I am also a Baggie. Every time I have been to Pentwyn Dental Surgery, I have rarely been disappointed. The only minor criticism I would have is the wait. You could be waiting for at least five to ten minutes for your appointment with the Dentist Surgeon. So if you do have an appointment, get there early.

As a nervous patient I came to this practice because they advertised painless dentistry. Only half believed it but at least it was a start. It took over 45 minutes to get there and there were many dentists between where I live and Stella Maris. The travelling was well worth it as Dr Namih lived up to his promise of painless dentistry. Am now nearing the end of extensive treatment lasting about 9 months, and for the first time in over 20 years I can smile with confidence. Thank you Dr Namih and team. Margaret Ward

My first dentist used to scare me, the second one ripped me off but 'Shirley Dental care' doesn't rip people off and has nice dentists. It's arguably one of the best dentists my family and I have been to. It can be confusing when dentists start informing you of procedures but here they make it sound so simple. They don't persuade you to have things done in your mouth, such as fillings, so they can get more money. Instead they helpfully inform you of what's going to happen without making you feel like you have to have it done (unless it's absolutely vital). The staff are friendly and always as helpful as they can be. However, their mouthwash still tastes as disgusting as any other dentist and they don't have up-to-date magazines for those long boring waits. I guess it's the little things that count too.
