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!"

I needed to see a dentist unexpectedly with a painful gum. Called in Friday afternoon not expecting to be able to see someone. I got an appointment later that afternoon. So efficient. Such a helpful person on the front desk. To cap it all I went into my appointment early! Fantastic service.

Great visit as always! I travel over an hour to see my dentist as she is just brilliant with me, on my first visit my teeth we’re chattering on the X-ray plate I was that nervous, now , a couple of years later, I am as close to being relaxed that I’ll be at the dentist :-)

My dentist has helped ease my extreme anxiety after previous bad experiences elsewhere- he takes time to ease my worries, talk me through what he’s doing or going to do. Gives me time between procedures- he treats me as a person not just an appointment. I wouldn’t go elsewhere.

On all my treatments ,check ups, and completed treatments the service and care was absolutely first class , makes going to the dentist dread free and surprisingly pleasent.

I have had terrible experiences at dentists before- but Lynn road dental surgery has taken time to accept a very anxious patient, slowly and gently telling me every step before it happens, friendly yet professional, reassuring and respectful. I honestly can’t praise them enough. Thank you.

I have been a patient with Lynn Road Dental for many years. Both the dentists and hygienists have looked after me very well in this time. They take the time to explain and reassure on the procedures to put me at ease. Nobody likes visiting the dentist but having a good experience like at Lynn Road Dental makes all the difference; I highly recommend this practice.

I am really scared of the dentist but Brais my dentist and the dental hygienist put me at ease. I was nervous when Mr Lawrence finished but Brais ( sorry spelling’) has continued to make me feel confident. I would not go anywhere else.
