My husband ended up visiting an extremely busy A&E at approx 10pm on Wednesday evening. He was suffering from extreme dental pain which had got progressively worse over a few days to the point of it being intolerable. With there being no sort of availability at our regular dentist day after day, out of desperation he then rang 111 who then informed him there is no OOH emergency dental provision during the week in NorfolkSuffolk. He was advised his only option would be
A & E @ NNUH.
On arrival he was triaged and almost immediately called through and assessed by a Dr, who sorted out Anti- biotics and more adequate pain relief to see him through until he could get in at our dentist.
From arrival to departure it took 35 mins. What a first class team, providing excellent levels of care and support to their patients. Well impressed with every aspect of how this busy overstretched department works. Top class.
"Amazing care"
