I tried two local dentists who always seemed to be accepting nhs patients, but it's clear as to why.

At the risk of sounding racist, which I'm not, one was an indian dentist, didn't speak English all that well and was very blunt/brutal, so that one was a no-no, I only went once, didn't return again.

Second dentist was a lovely English lady, couldn't fault her, she was gentle, but thorough, but it was the only dentist I've been to, which didn't have one of those small sinks where you could wash your mouth out with? (The little round sink which sits next to the chair, with the mouth rinse cup)
I found that a little odd.
