"Knocked out tooth is back in place!"

About: Edinburgh Dental Institute / Dental Paediatrics

(as a service user),

After a scooter accident on a Saturday my son lost a front adult tooth and knocked his other  three front teeth which left them all loose. After an initial visit on the Saturday to get the missing front tooth put back in we were asked the next Monday. Very prompt service which was amazing! 

During the second visit my son was very distressed and all the staff were so lovely to him, explained in very easy language to understand what would happen. When he continued to be very distressed they sedated him to carry out a procedure that took an hour and a half. The whole time they were kind, thoughtful, kept my son and us parents up to date with everything that was going on. 

I couldn’t be more grateful for the kindness shown to us all. I hope no one ever has to use this service but if you do, you are definitely in safe hands. They worked miracles and all the teeth are back where they should be with a neat wire to keep them there! 

The after care has also been very clear and easy to understand. 

Thank you to everyone, from me, my son and my husband. X
