Any good dentists?

I am one of those people who never go to the dentist until something hurts. Now I am trying to be brave and actually push myself into an earlier than scheduled visit as I have a hole in one of my back teeth that feels like the Grand Canyon of all cavities. Not that I´ve ever enjoyed visiting the dentist, ever since we used to go as kids and the drills they used then were more like the pneumatic variety rather than the whirry little things of today. But since I came to live in Spain I am yet to find a regular dentist with a good bedside manner (so to speak) and one who doesn´t charge the earth and terrify me into the bargain. I have tried many different nationalities of dentist and found a great Swedish guy in Fuengirola - who promptly retired after my first visit (I didn´t realise my molars were that shocking). The latest one I visited (mentioning no names) was highly recommended by a friend of mine (An ex-friend now I might add). I went for a clean and a check-up and stumbled out of there 40 minutes later resembling a victim of a chainsaw massacre, and 100 euros worse off. Ok maybe a slight exagerration but believe me there was blood. One of the other worse experiences was when I visited another unfriendly chap in Calahonda who told me he was only hurting me because my pain threshold was very low. ´Oh that´s ok then´ I thought, ´see if you can hurt me some more´. So next week I am going to brace myself for the next dental onslaught with a new, very highly recommended chap in Los Boliches. I will report back and let you know how I get on (if I live to tell the tale).
