Great news that's long overdue, the sooner it's started the better.

That's great news. Wonder how long it will take to be up and running. I have had 2 broken teeth for a couple of years now, and because they are not painful, I have had to grin and bear. (well bear it anyway, try not to grin too much as not a pleasant sight)

Aw i really do need a dentist! I went to the orthadontist in Inverness, i really need braces (Im bloomin near 21) and they said it will cost me £3000+!!!! I went mental!!!

Plus i have a broken tooth from when i had my tongue pierced!!

I think Thurso High School should pay for my braces tho because it is their fault my teeth are broken!!!!!!!!! Long story! [evil][evil][evil]

So could not afford the braces, and found out i was pregnant at the time so they would not do it then anyway!!!

as you have just had your baby surly you should beable to get into the nhs clinic at lochshell in wick, to see what they say.

I registered at the lochshell dentist 3 days after it opened ,phoned the helpline a few weeks ago to see where i was on the list only to be told I was something like 3964 and when I asked how long they thought it would be before I would get a routien appointment they said it could be upto another 4 years. Where I welcome the investment the government are making surely they should be investing in dental surgeries that are already open and so obviously understaffed before building new ones
