A warm welcome to Lincoln Hirst - our latest dentist!

[letsconnect]

Some of you may have noticed that there is a new dentist on the block - Lincoln Hirst (or Dr Hirst for short) . Lincoln practices dentistry in the (in?)aptly named "Beehive Dental Practice" in Welwyn Garden City, England. He qualified as a dentist in 1988. In his own words:

"Nothing gives me more satisfaction than helping dental phobics. I am happy to discuss your concerns on the telephone or by email prior to meeting.
In addition to sedation facilities I now have the "wand" computerised local anaesthetic system which has greatly enhanced my ability to give pain-free local anaesthetic."

Lincoln aka drhirst will be checking in every couple of days to answer a post or two, as time allows (hopefully there'll be lots of time, as he's a fountain of phobia knowledge!).

A big welcome to Lincoln Hirst !!

A big from me too.....dentists with TheWand are pretty popular around here but in such short supply.
Great to have another pair of hands on deck.
Why 'The Beehive' out of interest?

We called the practice beehive because "we sting you in the mouth then sting you in the pocket!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

No sorry – inappropriate humour. The practice is located in a road called Beehive Lane and has been called Beehive practice for about 55 years. I would agree it is a terrible name – my wife hates it.

I thought it was because all your dental staff had 'do's like this:

Reminds me of an anecdote Letsconnect has heard before...my OH actually returned to a practice for treatment (NHS1980s) where there were wasps trapped in the overhead light and they told him to ignore them.....I could never have returned there....
