   yes but what about the language barrier – i mught go there and coem back with a wooden tooth by mistake…and how to find a decent dentist there – these questions and more.

   i do know a couple of crazy poles at work – maybe i should ask one of them to recommend me someone.

   Top tip: Entertain said Poles with charm and wit so you can surreptitiously check out their dental work *before* asking them to recommend a dentist. You (probably) don’t want to end up in the little shop of horrors, Poland stylee.

   I have heard it’s tres cheap and apparently they are all very well trained.

   Did you know, though, that there are dental schools in London which need people to be their patients. The ‘students’ are nearly qualified (4th or 5th yr), it’s all supervised by the tutors and chances are you’d get a better service than from an average dentist because they need to impress the tutors. The downside is it takes *ages*, but you can marvel at having two kidneys while you sit there with your gob open.
