Re: School Dentist

I remember getting a chart to tick when I had cleaned my teeth, so I would remember to brush twice a day.

Re: School Dentist

Wasn't too fussed about the school dentist. Best thing, though, was when someone from the local health authority came round preaching about dental health, and they gave out those little red disclosing tablets that made your mouth, teeth and gums change colour! Seem to remember getting a free toothbrush too.

Re: School Dentist

Only just found this thread and am feeling a bit mistified. I remember schools dentists visiting several times during my childhood but they only ever did a check-up. School dentists never did any work on your teeth. They'd report back to your partents what needed to be done - if anything. It is the case now and it was forty years ago.

But using a mask to put you out? At school?? Seriously?

Same for me MB. They never did any work at school, just informed your parents of any work needing to be done at your own dentist.

Re: School Dentist

I remember having the school dentist a few times at primary school, but they only did an examination.

My bother had to have some teeth out & had gas, which he claimed smelt like a dry cleaners.

My school dentist referred me to a dentist at a local health centre.

Re: School Dentist

The school dentist has scarred me for life,I can never forget the smell of the gas or how they shouted at me to bite down on something :cry: I was only six or seven at the time,I'm going to have a tooth out on June 1st and even though I'll be awake I'm still bricking it

hooper, see my post above

No-one was more dreading going back to the dentists than me, but it was 100% ok thank God!
