With a chipped pre-molar, the terror of dentists had to be overcome. I had a choice of making an appointment with the dentist in Norwich for next time back in England, or trying the local one. Ex-pat neighbours had said that the local dentist is so good, they have visitors who get their dental work done while on holiday here, so I was hopeful.
She was excellent. No injection: she said that French dentists don't give anaesthetic for everything, and (probably as a consequence!) learn to work delicately. She does use anaesthetic if necessary, but for preference electronic anaesthesia. Interesting. And she has a water-jet thingy for de-scaling, which is so much quicker and less painful than having it all done by sharp metal sticks.
Oh, and the appointment really was for 14:30.
Don't come too close now, I might bite ;)
