    does such a thing exist?!

    I'm located in letterkenny, looking for a dentist that can do before 9am, after 5pm or (heaven forbid) saturdays...

    If I don't get my wisdom tooth seen to soon I'm gonna rip it out of my head myself!!

    :eek:

    Its difficult enough to get an appointment in normal practice hours so the chances of getting a dentist "out of hours" is like looking for the pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow.

    I've found the pot o' gold. There is an emergency Dental clinic located above the shop 'Tokyo' on the main street in Letterkenny, which is only open on weekends as far as I know. I used it myself on a Saturday, last September. I called them in the morning and they seen me that afternoon.

    Never forget as a seven to nine year old kid getting teeth drilled out several times without anesthetic.
    Not sure if that was standard practice then or the dentist was just a mean sadist but the pain whenever a nerve was touched was the worst I ever experienced.
    Quit going then between the ages of 12 to 24 and then realized with the jag it's much better than toothache. Can remember one well entrenched tooth took 45 minutes to pull but still no great pain.

    Even though it's mass medication I am staunchly in favour of fluoride in mains water as cavities are far less common now.
