My experience with a partner dentist from alpha happened some time ago but as the upset caused has not abated I am only now sharing this. My daughter had toothache so I took her to my regular dentist. They said she had some decay in a milk tooth and would keep an eye on it. The pain returned so we returned to Alpha but this time it was another dentist who spoke to me like I was a child saying 'have you seen this, just look at this' He motioned to the nurse and made it clear he was incredulous that I should allow my daughter to have such a cavity. I did not like to say that this tooth was supposedly being watched by her regular dentist because I did not wish to be disloyal to him so instead I had to stand and be totally shamed by the partner. I felt utterly humiliated by his words and behaviour; I could have cried and had it not been for the fact that I cannot afford private dentistry I would never have set foot in the place again. This took place at the Kirkby practise although the dentist was covering and had come from another place. There can be no justification for his attitude to me and I am only remaining anonymous because I have no choice but to receive NHS dentistry.
