"Dental Treatment for my daughter following a trauma"

About: Glasgow Dental Hospital and School / Dental

(as a parent/guardian),

My daughter suffered a terrible fall at the age of 8, breaking her front tooth severely. Our dentist referred us to the Dental Hospital in Glasgow where we proceeded to have approximately 8 years of treatments in an effort to save the root, save what was left of the tooth, and help my daughter who, despite always being brave, had suffered emotionally through the trauma and endless treatments.

Having grown into a young teenager, she was extremely self-conscious, refusing to smile and show her teeth. Dr Burns at Glasgow Dental Hospital personally took over the treatments and, having children herself, understood how vulnerable my daughter was at the age of 16. The final outcome is as close to perfect as we could have asked for, and I would like to extend my sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to Dr Burns and her team for all she did for my daughter over the past few years. I put my trust in her and today my daughter smiles her beautiful smile and laughs openly, and there is nothing more beautiful. Thank you Dr Burns! !

I'm very grateful to you taking the time to post this comment; it is always nice to hear a good news story and I am delighted to hear of such a positive outcome for your daughter, particularly after such a long period of treatment.

I will share your comments with Beth and her team.

Thank you
