Maria's dental emergency

Maria had been experiencing toothache - enduring 6 weeks of pain, reaching the point where she could no longer eat. At this point Maria booked an emergency appointment with us at Lynn Road Dental Practice. She called the clinic first thing in the morning and we booked her in within a few hours to see the dentist.

What we did

We saw Maria as soon as we could. Although our dentists are booked up well in advance we always leave a few appointments each day for the unforeseen emergency. When Maria came in, we took time to understand the problem and then used a digital X-Ray to help diagnose the issue as well as examine the tooth and surrounding areas carefully.

Outcome

The X-Ray showed Maria had an infection. Our dentist prescribed a course of antibiotics and invited Maria back a week later to ensure the problem had been resolved.

What did Maria say?

"I have been going to Lynn Road Dental Practice for over 25 years and I wouldn't consider changing to another clinic as I am always happy with service. I always get a warm and friendly welcome from all the team. I felt a few twinges with my tooth a while ago, but this had developed to the point where my mouth was swollen and I was in so much pain that I couldn’t eat. I was so relieved when I called the practice and they said they could see me the same day! The experience was actually fine, brilliant! My dentist gave me a course of antibiotics and I made a review appointment to see her a week later. I felt things had improved and she examined the area to check that was the case and the infection had gone. I am now totally out of pain and booked in for my 6 month Dental health review and with the hygienist too!"

Jay is always very patient with both of my boys who attended. He explains everything clearly and offers good advice on how they can look after their teeth better. He puts both of them at ease so that they have a good experience at the dentist. The reception team are also friendly and helpful. It is quick and easy to get booked in, and to book future appointments. It’s good to have the magazines in the waiting room (ones suitable for children too) although we didn’t need to wait long and were seen straight away at our appointment time.

All staff are extremely polite and friendly, surgery is always clean. Only ‘concern’ is the financial cost of treatments.

My dentist Jay is always welcoming & puts me at ease. Jay always asks what I've been up to since my last visit. He goes through every step of treatments from a check up to other treatments I may need.

Efficient and professional service. Reception always endeavour to schedule appointment day and time for your convenience, also when emergency treatment required. Hygienist Sara does a brilliant job, very engaging and professional, like having a spring clean, excellent addition to the practice.

Lynn Road Dental Practice work well as a team as shown by my last treatment. I asked for antibiotics..the receptionist heard me and understood my needs... talking to the dentist..Khem Joshi prior to simply handing me a prescription. I was then given an appointment within 2 days of the call to help. The extraction was performed expertly with a great deal of politeness and consideration.

Dear manager,I only joined your surgery last week when i experienced tooth ache. The receptionist went through my options for plans to join which was simple and all documents sent quicky.I am a very nervous patient and would describe the dentist as not my happy place, I was booked in to see Tracey and both Tracey’s put me at ease straight away, was a very comfortable environment and was told that I would need a couple of teeth removed. This was my Friday appointment. Once again on arrival very nervous but once with Tracey was put at ease with the explanation of the procedure and how my briefing would keep me calm. Unfortunately the procedure didn’t go to plan and the tooth could t be removed and I have been referred to the hospital. I would like to say the professionalism and calmness of Tracey really helped with the experience and I can only apologise I have rubbish teeth..I have another appoint with the surgery this week and after the two previous experience I feel more at ease to come.It’s a shame that tooth removal couldn’t be completed but calmness and care for a patient’s heath is more important.

Always communicate about upcoming appointments.Team is friendly and have helped me look at furture treatment options e.g dental implants, which I need to have as I have struggled with dentures to date.
