where can i go without paying £3000000000 or waiting 2 weeks?
I'm not registered with a dentist at all and haven't been in a few years.

I went to one on Kings Road that was pretty cheap.

In the vortex that is World's End.

I will do the full works for £15, I have my own equipment and just need a 13 amp socket and a hose pipe.

I really need a checkup, but I haven't been to the dentist for ages and I'm worried about what would be found, so I just ignore it like any big problem, until it hopefully goes away or all my teeth fall out.

Where you at? There's a dentist at Clapham South that takes NHS patients and only charges 16 notes for a check-up.

On the first day at University, many moons ago, a mate of mine fell out of his window and smashed some teeth out. Another friend grabbed them, got him to the dentist and had to hold one in place while some stitching was done - on the first day they ever met. Good chap.

What I mean is, they will register new NHS patients - at least they did last time I checked.

A close friend of mine was a bit skint and had a bad tooth ache, I know this sounds like an urban myth but I promise it's true. So she drank a bottle of whiskey, went to her garage , got a pair of pliers and pulled out the bad tooth herself! Fuck, there is no way I could do that no matter how bad the pain.

I'm on just over a decade since I last saw a dentist. So if anyone has a recommendation for a cracking good dentist who isn't so drill-friendly, then I'd be so grateful.
Fear. Fear is a terrible thing.

Addie, are you of the spitalfields locality (you are, aren't you? or are you? For some reason I think you live east...hmmm) this place on Bethnal Green Road http://www.nhs.uk/ServiceDirectories...d=000001_E20AA (I hope that link works) is rather good. Taking on new NHS patients, hasn't done me a filling in the two years I've been there despite the fact that I probably do need at least one. So not very drill happy.

East: yes.
Drillus minimus: fantastico!
NHS newbies: even greater.

Also, what's current dentistry decorum? Does one first see a hygienist, or use the 'go straight to the dentist' card? Or is that hygiene bit only for private folks?

Well re: hygienists, the NHS doesn't really use them anymore, since all they do is advise on oral hygiene and do the scale and polish. Dentists themselves are encouraged to do all this now instead. So just go straight to the dentist and he will look in your mouth, innit. :-O
