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!"

My son had his tongue untied by the amazing Mo. Not a pleasant procedure, however, Mo and his dental assistant Tracy were fantastic with him. Explaining everything and being very kind and patient with both of us. For Mo to arrange a telephone call early the following morning to see how my son was goes above and beyond what was expected. I am so glad my son had the procedure done with Mo and I felt like he was in the best possible hands. The reception team were also very kind and friendly and showed concern with my son. Thank you all

My visit was quite straightforward. A check up. There were no major issues, although I did wait for a while before being called. No problems with my teeth, details were explained clearly, and I booked my next two appointments without a problem.

Being looked after when nervous

2nd April 2026

I had been unable to attend my check up appointment due to cold weather and to my condition of Trigeminal neuralgia. I need to stay in to avoid the cold temperature which can cause severe nerve pain in my face and I informed the reception at the dentists who was very understanding and advised me to make another appointment which I was able to keep several weeks later.
