Hello.

I'm moving back to Swindon next week and would be grateful for the TEF's sage counsel. The idea is that in this thread I will ask you for suggestions/recommendations for services. This may be for a car service, or a GP's, or where is the best place to pick up desperate women who have low self esteem and aren't too picky.

The area I'm moving to is Old Town, at the top of Drove Rd. The first request is......

Can anyone recommend a dentist?

I know I can (and have) Google this info, but if anyone can actually give first hand reviews (positive, or stay the fuck away!) that will help in determining my choices.

Thank you.

There's an NHS dentist in Old Town. Euro Dental, on Bath Road.
I've been with them for years, never had any problems.

Cheers. Any good?

Private or nhs.

The one next to bbc swindon is good. Expensive, but you get what you pay for.

I live on Drove Road. My dentist is on Victoria Road. It's a private one, but very good. It's Ebenezer House dental. My GP is next to it - Victoria Cross. It's fine.

I was with Euro dental for years. I should have left after the time I had a routine filling which then had me in agony for a week and I eventually begged them to remove the tooth. it was fine before they ruined it. They ballsed up my appointment some time after that blamed me for it and a new dentist was opened nearer to me so I changed. To cut a long story short my new dentist found a lot of issues with me on my first appointment with him that led to having to have some teeth removed. If Euro dental had done their job properly then issues would have been picked up and I'd still have my teeth(I unknowingly had a tooth that had been dead for ages,which then damaged the roots of nearby teeth and I had a large cyst there)
Euro dental stopped offering scaling after a while which before was part of the check up too. They basically rush you in and out and have loads of patients. I rate them about as highly as I do Swindon motor park
I know of quite a few people who have left them as they are were not happy with them too. My dentist is in Eldene so I won't bother recommending as it's not near you herthab

Cheers arriba.

So that's your teeth sorted out, euro dental sound great. Dentists ticked off, next!

My dentist is in Gorse Hill, the GH Dental practice.  The main man is swedish although he trained in this country, Mr Dibnah.  Always tries to help out in the event of an emergency and is very competent - thoroughly recommended.

Defo get registered at Lawn Surgery.

Changed to them 6 months ago and I'm in for my knee replacement tomorrow.

Previous surgery refused to refer me

Clyde House on Bath Road is a decent NHS dentist. Never had an issue there.

Where are you planning on getting your hair cut mate?

Good question. I need a salon where they're experienced in my style. It takes a lot of skill to maintain this look.

:D

Need a steady hand with the old bic

There's a French polishers on commercial road..

That is an excellent dentist if he diagnosed that you need a knee replacement,

Good work

:D

Been with them since dinosaurs roamed the earth. They're efficient, have a good booking system and will do their best to fit you in if you have an urgent problem. The only annoyance I have is that they steer you to their (private forty quid a session) hygienist which is actually illegal as routine cleaning/scaling/polishing is part of your course of treatment according to the NHS Web Shite

Perhaps you could support your local football team?

I'm sorry, but to fit in with the majority of Swindon residents, shouldn't I support a premiership club? (From the comfort of my armchair, obviously).

Don't you know your knee-bone's connected to your jaw-bone?

I use Eurodental on Devizes Road (next to Pig On the Hill), and they're NHS. Never had a problem, got me referred quickly for a complicated extraction after 9 years of having no dental work done.

Dry cleaners?

Brush your teeth every other day, and when in need embrace the carnival atmosphere on offer at Carfax Street walk in centre. It's worth faking a bit of nerve pain just for the experience.

There used to be one at the top of Vic Road....now like so many useful things, gone.  You can take items to the Co-Op, where they'll send them off to a cleaner....no idea about the time scale.

Decent dry cleaners in Clive Parade, Cricklade Road.

Bit drastic, you'd be better off just brushing them I'd have thought. Maybe change your toothpaste if you're worried

I've lived in Swindon for 25 years and haven't used either a Dentist or a Dry Cleaner.

I'm a failure

a smelly one with no teeth ?

Quality Dry Cleaners on commercial road are reasonably priced and have a very quick turnaround

Herthab, bald cunt, has turned into 4D.

No. I'm merely asking for people's recommendations on services that they have used in Swindon.

I haven't asked how to wire a plug, or how to make a cheese sandwich, have I?

There was a dry cleaners I used to use as they were cheap. They were also shit so I stopped using them. Unfortunately I can't remember which one it was so it's probably not much help. Though it might have been the one on Commercial Road.

Nowadays I just avoid buying clothes that need to be dry cleaned.

Probably not much help. Probably. :D

If you need to find out anything about local dashcams or windscreen wipers I'm sure there will be someone on here who can help.  :)

Haha, quite! I don't mind Sippo having a pop, the Daily Mail reading, Top Gear loving, dashcam wanker.

Or even local cheeses!

Love you fester xxx
