Eye on Moseley

While I know Kirsty Irvine herself has a good reputation, I was really unimpressed, for a raft of reasons, with her Wake Green Rd practice while I was a patient there (seeing various dentists and the hygienist) before it stopped offering NHS treatment. And I'm one of those rare/weird souls who doesn't mind going to the dentist at all (I prefer goin […]

Not a recipe, but a really amazing tip that really does work. Making roast poatoes, when putting your par-boiled taters in to roast, sprinkle semolina powder liberally all over the spuds. The difference it makes to the finished roasties is remarkable. […]

Thanks for that, but Kirsty's surgery doesn't offer anything stronger than a jab in the gum and I was kinda hoping for happy gas or IV, which I managed to find at one surgery. No reflection on said surgery, but am I alone in thinking that dental practice is still bit primitive, when it's considered OK to rip a molar out of your gum or perform […]

I haven't been for a while myself but Kirsty Irvine's practice on Wake Green Rd (next to the doctors) comes highly recommended. All the dentists (KIrsty, Sarah and - I think - Oliver?) are very nice and take time to make sure you know exactly what they're doing, and that you're not nervous. And it's not a clinical-looking place at al […]

a bit of an odd request, but does anyone have experience of a good localish dentist? My wife needs some work and is terrified, so needs someone with a good bedside manner and, preferably, tons of anaesthetics. […]

But you do get to vote on whether we build an Adsa on the village green.Great, in that case I say build it, build it tall. […]

Teddy Bear Bungee sounds exciting. […]

And we're very grateful. […]
