This is a brilliant dental practice. It's hard to imagine that I would ever think I may enjoy visiting the dentist but here I do. All the staff are excellent.The atmosphere is relaxed and everyone friendly and most professional. A big shout out to Amanda, my dentist and Nicola the hygienist. However all the other staff are fab too. I highly recommend Gentle Dental Care in St Andrews.

I recently moved from another dentist in St Andrews to Gentle Dental Care, and I am so glad I did. Gental Dental Care are professional, sincere, dedicated, and humble, and provides an incredible service. Dr Ching is a superstar - genuine, a people person, professional and dedicated to providing the best treatment plan appropriate to your needs. A special mention also goes to Lisa at reception, who is polite, full of smiles, and professional in her approach to dealing with potential and new patients (the waiting list was so worth it!). Thank you, Gentle Dental Care team.

Gentle Dental is top of the pops! Located conveniently in the centre of St Andrews in a beautiful building with calm, soothing vibes throughout the surgery. The staff are welcoming and friendly, professional and thorough. I look forward to my hygienist appointments with Nicola every quarter; she is the BEST ad she attends to every little detail and I leave feeling a billion dollars. Hooray for a top team🙏👏🏻

Dr.Amanda Campbell (no relation) is a brilliant dentist - gentle, caring and very considerate towards nervous patients like myself. I once had a very painful, broken tooth and she extracted it before I was even aware that it was gone! On another time, she quickly dealt with a broken tooth/filling that was causing me considerable pain & inconvenience. This is the easily the best dental practice that I have ever belonged to and I cannot speak highly enough of them.
