Highly Effective emergency dental service

"Highly Effective emergency dental service"

About: Fife Community Services / Dental Service NHS 24 / Scottish Emergency Dental Service

(as a carer),

My thanks to NHS24 Scotland and the Glenwood Dental Centre in Glenrothes for their assistance when I broke a tooth early on Saturday evening, leaving me in some pain. The NHS24 call handler, the dental nurse who assessed my case, and the lady who made an appointment for me shortly afterwards could not have been more helpful. I was seen by the dentist the following morning and was highly impressed with all Glenwood's staff.

The service could not have been bettered from start to finish and was much appreciated by this patient.
