I have bad past experiences with going to dentist because it has always been painful regardless of the area being numbed. I become anxious every time I have to get checked to the dentist. 2 Days ago, I woke up with excruciating pain on my left cheek. I could feel the pain spread from the upper right side of my cheek towards my jaw.
I contacted NHS on 111 and they manage to book an emergency dental appointment for me. It turns out that one of my tooth is dead and they had to clean the root canal. Paula and Emma helped me with the procedure.
They were very welcoming and kind throughout the procedure, I don't feel any pain at all!
They made sure that I am comfortable and told me to always sign to them whenever I feel like it starts feeling overwhelming for me or if I am not okay throughout the procedure.
They definitely helped me tremendously with my anxiety of having to go to the dentist in the future! :D
