Impacted Wisdom Tooth Removal

"Impacted Wisdom Tooth Removal"

About: Eastbourne District General Hospital

Two years ago I had an impacted Wisdom tooth removed at Eastbourne General District Hospital. I was so terrified but the nurses really helped me through the procedure and the dentist himself was very good indeed. The wound healed well and it really boyed my ability to cope with dentistry appointments.

I now need the other lower impacted tooth out and have been referred this time to Uckfield Community Hospital which I've had bad experiences at. I'm now really anxious as I was very happy at Eastbourne and don't want to go to Uckfield. I'm not sure how to deal with this and can't find another line of communication with which to ask this question.Is there a way to transfer back to Eastbourne do you know?

You're hopefully.

Helen
