Dentist in the morning :(


Hi Sharon, I have made a similar switch recently to Sensodyne. My name is Craig and this is my first posting. I recently started a job in Glasgow during the last few months, but I am still commuting from Edinburgh. I immediately found it difficult to fit some of the weekday stuff I normally need to do in Edinburgh into working life in Glasgow – e.g. dentist appointments, etc. Sometimes these things have to happen and I did not want to cause a fuss.

I decided the best thing was to move to a dentist practice in Glasgow, just so that things like that stopped getting in the way. Did not have a clue who to go to, but a friend at work recommended :arrow: Park Practice on Park Road. They were brilliant and immediately spotted that my brushing technique was at fault – just certain areas getting missed and so had gradually become weaker (I think there is also a new government push on dentists checking gums, so got lots of advice).

I think Sensodyne has also made a difference overall – hope this worked for you too. I don’t fear cold stuff anymore. I hope I can move to Glasgow at some point, really enjoying it. I will be asking for more tips if that happens! :)

More or less Robert .. it's a 360 point based modular course - 60 points maximum in year one, 120 points maximum in the following years.

Never was interested as a teenager in going to college/university.
Hated school and just wanted out to earn a wage.
Subsequently as an adult went to both college and university but that was work related.
I'd like to go to University to do something I'd like to do. A history degree would be favourite.

I currently wok in a cake factory. Nights. 4 out of seven. Studied, got my qualifications, blew it.

Please - all of you younger dudes - Go for it! Get qualified and then USE IT. The world is still an oyster. Please, please - use the potential that God gave you, use every opportunity like a set of pliers and have a good, good life.
