Emergency Dental Care

(as the patient),

Having had toothache over the weekend I was about climbing the walls with the pain. I phoned NHS 24 and got an appointment for Springfield Dental Care in Arbroath.

If like me you are scared of dentists (no real reason as none of them has caused me any grief) you can imagine I wasn't looking forward to the appointment but from the start the staff were great. From the receptionist to the nurse and dentist I couldn't have asked for nicer people, I was put at ease and everything was explained I really was impressed.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I have passed your comments on to the Public Dental team in Arbroath. I am pleased the team were able to put you at ease and help you with your pain. I'm sorry to hear you were suffering from pain all weekend. There is an dental emergency weekend service triaged through NHS 24. Phone 111 to access emergency dental care at weekends.
