"Tooth extraction"

About: Edinburgh Dental Institute / Dental Paediatrics

(as a parent/guardian),

Sultana and Maria at Lauriston dental hospital are amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my daughter. They took their time to make her feel less scared and anxious about her tooth extraction. They spoke the whole time throughout it and she said it was the best experience she’s had at a dentist so far. My daughter was terrified and we said to possibly use sedation but Maria and Sultana were so amazing that she didn’t need sedation. Things like this will be remembered forever for young kids and I’m so glad she had this experience. I couldn’t fault it at all. Even when the tooth was extracted they still continued to comfort my daughter to make sure she felt fine which she did. Thank you so much to Maria and Sultana you made us feel so much better while there and the care given is how all dentists should be.

Hello februarytt44

Thank you so much for taking the time to send in your very kind comments. I will ensure that the Paediatric team including the dentists that you mention see your comments.

It makes us very happy that we put our patients at ease and make what can be a hard experience turn into a very positive one.

Hopefully, next time your daughter visits a dentist she will not feel so anxious.

Once again, thank you

Lorraine Canning

Clinical Service Manager
