I signed up with the Porterbrook Dentist earlier on today. Earlierst appointment is 3rd August though.
Phil Burns took me on and gave me an appointment the same day (I was in some pain mind you).

Have you tried Andrew Needham on Molineaux rd.Opposite Sicey pub.
I can recommend him
Hillsborough Park on Middlewood Road, but that's a private practice.
forge farm dental practice is really good, its like going to someones house rather than walking into a hospital
as far as i know they are taking new clients,
they are at the bottom of stannington rd

If you go on the nhs direct website you can search for dentists in your area and it tells you if they are registering or not and how long the wait will be before your first appointment

excellent site this is better than when i spoke to nhs direct themsleves this is more informative
It's getting more and more difficult to find a dentist on the NHS.
I have had to go private. I was recommended a good dentist but he wasn't taking on NHS patients.
However, I have to say (and this really shouldn't be the case) the treatment I have received is well worth the extra money. I don't know why this is, because the fee you pay as an NHS patient is subsidised by the Government (I think) so the service you get should be the same, but it isn't. Although as an NHS patient there are limits to what is available (only the basics).
There was a website I found a few weeks ago that listed Yorkshire dentists who were taking on new patients. Mozella has since wiped my bookmarks, so I can't give you a link. Anyways, I managed to squeeze myself through the doors of a dentist on Birley Moor Road, S12.
