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 dentist is very professional and he's the only dentist I've been to since we've moved to Norfolk in late 2011 - I trust him.

Having been terrified of dentist's all my life I had to brave it and go. Dr Mo was fantastic he put me at ease straight away only wish he had been around in my younger days. The treatment and care was wonderful. Big thanks to everyone at the practice.

Welcoming reception staff and easy to complete and sign form. Short waiting time for appointment. Sarah Gauvin, the hygienist was attentive and listened to my needs. She was gentle and thorough and has made my smile so much better. She doesn’t rush and gives her patients the time and attention they need when attending a dentist appointment. Thank you

I have been attending Lynn Practice since 2013? I always have confidence in Dr Joshi and the receptionists. They have been very good to me as I have suffered with abscesses over the years and they have always been able to get me an appointment as they know I panic!!! I am never late for an appointment but unfortunately was an hour late this time, although I was happy to re-arrange as did not want other patients to be delayed, Dr Joshi was able to see me. The hygienist could not see me till 2.00 so was going to re-arrange, but whilst seeing Dr Joshi one of their other hygienist became free and was able to see here. I have now booked to see her in my next appointment as my original hygienist has retired. I was very grateful to one an all. Thank you.
