Can anyone recommend a scenic country drive to take around the area south of London?

Help me find a North London dentist!

• Help me find a North London dentist! Caveat - I have not had a checkup in a very very long time. I live in North London (Camden area) and am in need of a dentist (previous AskMe is in a different area). I have not seen a dentist in about a decade after enduring dozens and dozens of orthodontic appointments in my teens, and my last dentist was in another country, and has since died so I don't have any records. Despite this, I take care of my teeth and they seem to be in good shape. Can anyone recommend a dentist that is taking patients? Someone who is patient and gentle would be great. If I go as a private patient, can I get an appointment sooner, as in within a few weeks? Or is it better to register as NHS and wait? What might an average price for a checkup be? I've not lived in the UK long so much of this is new to me, combined with my lack of checkups and I'm a bit nervous about it all.

Even if you go private, you may still have to wait. Perhaps not as long but so many dentists have now gone private that it's not like Harley St. For what it's worth, my NHS dentist went private. I now pay them £10 a month and that entitles me to a check up once a year, a session with the hygienist twice a year. Xrays and anything over and above costs more.
