Elderly Mum Dementia two teeth removed

"Elderly Mum Dementia two teeth removed"

About: Edinburgh Dental Institute / Oral Surgery & Medicine

(as a relative),

A superb dental team achieved this procedure at this second attempt! Yash and her team were quietly efficient, compassionate, professional, confident and reassuring. A news headline today is of a failing NHS.

Well, I must be just very lucky then! Every time I or my family have needed the NHS, it has been superb. Well done and thank you, we really appreciate it.

Dear Mum's son,

That’s such a heartening message to read! It’s wonderful to hear about the excellent care you received from Yash and her team—quiet efficiency paired with compassion and professionalism is exactly what we all strive for in the NHS.

While headlines often focus on the challenges, stories like yours remind us of the dedication and brilliance that still shine through across the NHS every day. You're not just lucky—you’re also helping to spotlight the teams who truly deserve recognition.

Thank you for sharing your experience, I will be sure to let Yash and the team read your story.

Best Regards

Alexander D. Keir, Principal Dental Nurse, Edinburgh Dental Institute and Royal Hospital for Children and Young People.
