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 Hindhead 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 Hindhead 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 ihave always gone to Hindhead since I moved here over forty years ago. Mr Ellis is a wonderful dentist and I dread the day he retires. I never feel any pain when he is treating me, and I almost enjoy it. He is extremely pleasant and fun to be with and his staff are all terrific. I have no desire to go anywhere else.

I have been a patient for many years and have always had a good outcome. I travel for 45 minutes to go there, probably passing many other dentists on the way, but I never mind the journey as I know I will have a good experience.

Excellent service all around from effiecient reception to caring dentistry

5th November 2024

Treatment plan was well explained. Confidence in the dentist, given that it was an unscheduled extraction, that is important. The dental assistant was also very reassuring. All in all, the team recognize that it is a nerve wracking experience and they worked well to make things as relaxed as possible ............... given there is a pair of pliers in your mouth, it really helps!

Very professional. What was very pleasing was that Paul had communicated the results of my visit to the hygienist today so she was fully aware that I had some sensitivity. So, I didn’t need to explain anything and it was very reassuring how joined up the team is. The whole team works really well; the receptionist is lovely and efficient; Paul installs confidence and the hygienist team is also first class.
