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!"

Lovely reception staff<br>Lovely dentist, Mo, very caring and informative<br>Lovely hygienist. Like the new machine.<br>Very expensive, as a pensioner priced me out of the plans, raising plan 2 by 19.5% was, in my opinion excessive.<br>I like the practice, been with them for years maybe they should consider a more affordable pensioner plan.

Shenee listened carefully to the recommendations made by the restorative dentist, she explained the procedure and gave me a treatment plan to carry out at home to help with my issue.

My current dentist is the best Ive ever seen. He is polite, friendly, and always explains my treatment in detail and in a way I understand. I feel confident in his ability to provide me with the best treatment.

My hygienist appointment with Sarah and Keira went very well, Sarah explained in depth about the new procedure, using the new warm water and bicarbonate of soda method. It was painless and the results were brilliant, they did a very good job on my elderly and uneven teeth. Good team work!

Good work from Sarah and impressive new cleaning equipment (Air system) and confident assistance from Keira. Dentistry certainly has improved since the dark days of my youth via the dreaded school dentist.

I liked the new procedure used by the hygienist. It was a more comfortable experience, which was carefully described and executed.
