"You will have it done quickly and properly."

About: Glasgow Dental Hospital and School / Dental

(as the patient),

So I had a dentist but they turned private, I then went to a hospital for some treatments and then they flooded so my next best bet was the students in the Dental Hospital in Glasgow, I have needle-phobia and was worried about it as I wasn't trusting but I was so wrong. During the initial tests it wasn't as bad as I thought the teacher even double checked it all and they spent a long time making a plan for treatment.

4 years ago I was told I needed 12 teeth taken out. I said no and went to another place and they said 4, I got 2 done and when I came here it turns out I only needed 1 filling and 1 extraction, they spent the best part of 3 hours making sure the filling was done properly and the teacher even made sure they used a certain way to use the needle that I only felt a slight bit of pain once and compared to a lot of dentists I have been to it was amazing I even want to know when they get a job, where, so If I need treatment again (hopefully not) I can find them as It wasn't that painful or bad. 

Long story short if you get one that is kind in the student dental hospital in Glasgow then you will have it done quickly and properly.

Dear Madhattergohat,

Many patients are anxious about having dental treatment, especially local anaesthetic injections. I am very pleased to hear that your dental treatment so went well on our student clinic. All of our undergraduate students are closely supervised when planning and delivering care and I am delighted to hear you were treated with such kindness while you were with us.

Thank you for taking time to make a post about your experience, it is very much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Fiona
