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 the appointment because a tooth broke. The appointment was only two days after I called to request it. The dentist was able to remedy the problem immediately and in doing so, forestalled a problem that was developing.

I didn't have to wait long, the hygienist is always friendly and chatty, putting me at ease. She asks all the right questions that you would expect as part of showing an interest in my teeth hygiene and explains everything she she is going to do during my treatment.

Every member of staff are considerate to the patients needs. They are highly professional, fully explaining what is going on, how long the wait may be if there is any delay and always happy to help.

I have now been a patient at Lynn road dental practice for 2 years, I signed up to their monthly dental plan. I have my regular check ups and hygienist as part of this plan and I am always given options on my treatments. I have had 2 small fillings in the last two years and good advise on my hygiene. I am very happy with the care I get and I believe the monthly plan to be of good value.

I had lost part of a tooth which left a jagged edge that was rubbing on my tongue. I phoned on Monday morning and got an appointment for Tuesday afternoon. My own dentist was on vacation but the dentist I saw listened to my problem and carried out work to take care of it. He then advised me on what to do and I have made a further appointment with my dentist to discuss my options.

All good as always I have no reason to doubt the ability of the practice.

I went to an emergency dentist last Monday, was told I needed a root canal. They wanted to refer me, but me knowing how long referrals can take and with an impending trip coming up, I started calling other dental practices to see if I could get something sooner. I spoke to Lynn Road via Whatsapp last week and explained my situation. The reception team were amazing. They got me booked in the following week (today) for a root canal. The root canal itself went as good as it could, I didn't feel a thing. I was practically falling asleep on the chair. Dr Mo is probably the best dentist I've had. Super professional, but kind and compassionate. Understood that I had a root canal done prior on another tooth when I was much younger, which wasn't a great experience - and so I was quite nervous. But he was excellent and made me feel very comfortable. Very grateful for all this practice have done for me. I now have a permanent filling in, and I am due a temporary crown in just under two weeks, eventually following a permanent one in a few months. I think I'll stick to this dentist for all other dental care. :)
