"All the medical staff are amazing"

I fell off my bike and my face went into the kerb. I was screaming and my two front teeth had fell out. We went to Crosshouse hospital where they managed to glue them back in. Since then I’ve had root canal treatment and extensive treatment on my teeth. Unfortunately I have had to loose my two front teeth to preserve my gums for when I’m older. It happened when I was 8. 

Last month I had to have my second tooth removed plus treatment on my gums to remove some bone. I was very scared but I knew I didn’t want to go for sedation so I chose to have it done with just jags. I was scared but I knew that I could trust Mairead as she makes me feel safe and always looks after me.

The procedure lasted  just over two hours with me having 12 jags to keep my numbness topped up. I got my new Essex retainer plus a new plate. It took a wee while for the stitches to come out and now I am so happy with my new teeth and my new smile. I’m so glad that I got it done now.

All the medical staff are amazing. Mairead and Gillian are my favourites. I can’t remember everyone’s name but Beth was also lovely and so was Lilian who sat and talked to my mum during my procedure as she was very nervous and worried.

I know that I am up at the dental hospital till I’m an adult but I just want you all to know that you are all amazing and thanks for always making me feel special.
