Here's an update after another day out...
My appointment at the dentist was for 12h00 today. After my experience earlier this week, I presented myself at 11h00, fully expecting to be sent away with instructions to return later. But no. I was welcomed and given a patient details questionnaire to fill in.
By 11h05, I was sent to the comfy waiting area, and settled down for a peaceful read of the book I'd brought with me. But after 2 minutes, I heard my name being called by a man with a clipboard. I followed him into a treatment room and asked who he was: he was the dentist and this was the appointment - starting about 50 minutes before the appointment time!
Their super-duper 3-d jaw scan revealed a slight infection under a wisdom tooth. I was unaware of it as there is no pain or sensitivity but, malheureusement, the tooth must be extracted, so further appointments are required.
I must say that I was very impressed. The facilities far exceed anything I've seen in the UK and, once you've mastered the booking system, they seem genuinely helpful. It's the Centre Dentaire Cholet, in case anyone needs a (rather remote) dentist. They are accepting new patients and are tier 1 so about as inexpensive as you'll find. I had to pay 9€ for my consultation and I should get most of that back from my mutuelle.
