A bloody great set of gnashers on the plasma TV screen - that’s what!
I congratulated Phil Hewitt and the team at Nantwich Smile Design on a well
presented patient lounge - and then berated them for showing dental stuff on
the TV.
“The type of advert I watch when waiting in a Post Office queue”
What has to be on the TV is BBC News 24, or Sky News - or a national event -
such as The Open this week.
Not, however, as bad as the practice I visited last year who were showing
The Jeremy Kyle Show to the bewildered waiting patients - all of whom were
gripped as the results of a DNA test were announced to determine which
moronic teenage Dad was the father of the trailer-trash teenage Mum’s doomed
child.
Sometimes I wonder…
I absolutely agree. On both accounts! We didn't know the
Ester Kraehmer | July 23, 2008I absolutely agree. On both accounts! We didn’t know the J K show was on until it was, alas, too late and one of our poor innocent little patient had been exposed to the naughty word “knob”.

Is it really that bad to show advertisements for services
julian | July 27, 2008Is it really that bad to show advertisements for services and treatments that you offer? If it’s a mainly NHS practice then I would have thought it was a great opportunity to show the waiting parents some of the things they could be aspiring to, tooth whitening, braces, implants or veneers. Aren’t we in the business of selling services and tooth care not sports coverage? I do believe that the content has to right and showing a naff advert for Colgate is a waste of time, but is using a screen to show adverts for services really that wrong? If so have companies like medivision been lying about their research?
