Does anyone know a good American trained dentist - around SW London/Surrey area?

I've moved out of town and want a recommended dentist to sign up with. I heard American standards are way higher than ours here.

By the way one of the top tv programmes in the US is "Britain's Worst Teeth" - can you believe that!!

thank you in advance

My dad is a wonderful dentist in Surrey, but I'm not recommending him to you, you transatlantic snob

Actually - putting aside your implicit criticism of British trained dentists - Sweden is where it's all at in terms of dental expertise and innovation, so you should be looking for someone who trained there.

American training is no better than english training. The treatment in America is better (than the nhs) because you pay (a lo0 for it.

if i needed serious work on my teeth i'd go back to teh US, mainly because the work would be cosmetic (i'd like laser-guided implants) and on the whole cheaper in the US.

So you're looking for a dentist that has been trained how to be American?

i had a S. African anaesthetist i wanted to marry because he got after them for not giving me any fluids after 24 hours of labour despite having inserted a cannula when i had the epidural 10 hours before.

and he chewed them out for not calling him sooner to top up the epi as i was in agonising pain.

and he also whispered, under his breath, 'these people sometimes drive me insane.' at the time, i could relate.

Our crap teeth have nothing to do with the standard of dentistry - got to do with the fact that we don't brush our teeth and can't find an NHS dentist.
