there was a complete lack of killing yourself there

I'm not killing myself before I go to the dentist
I've already paid for it.

what are you having done?
I worked at a dentist's once, they're massive con-artist cunts

Hygienist
Getting all my nooks and crannys cleaned.

You're dentist might have been a con artist, but I would disagree that mine are.

maybe
There were about 5 where I worked, and most of them seemed to over-prescribe treatment, or put off work so that they could charge more in the long-run.
Hygienists are always very lovely ladies, aren't they? We had one called Polly, and she was ALL woman.

was it NHS?

(Bazongaloid, Mon 22 Feb 2010, 9:45, Reply)

Nope, no NHS contract at all, totally private
it was a small practice, they just used to come into the office and say things like, 'that guy needs 3 fillings, I had time to do two, but if I leave that third one he'll be back in 6 months for a crown'

Utter shiteweasels

That's pretty shit
NHS dentists often appear to be crap, but it's not their fault, they have to save money in the short term, even if it's clearly going to cost more in the long term.

But for a private dentist to do that is pretty appalling.
