"Fully informed throughout all dental work"

About: Glasgow Dental Hospital and School / Dental

(as a service user),

I was given an emergency appointment by a receptionist who went above and beyond to get me an appointment for the Dental Hospital Glasgow for a microscopic root canal. (Sadly I didn’t get her name as she was very sympathetic and efficient.)

It was performed by Jamie who was being taught/supervised by Mrs Burns, consultant. Both made me feel very comfortable and explained every step of the process. The tooth ended up needing to be extracted. This was done by Mrs Burn. I was fully informed throughout and both listened to me and kept me calm. I am so grateful for the care that was provided by both of them. I am a nervous patient when it comes to the dentist and this was not an issue for them. I felt validated and respected. They listened when I told them I could still feel some pain and added more anaesthetic to ensure the procedure was pain free.

Thank you both!

Dear Debbie M

Thank you very much for taking the time to post a comment following your recent appointment at the Glasgow Dental Hospital.

A visit to the dentist can be daunting, particularly for a nervous patient, and I was pleased to read of your positive experience, with the team making sure you were informed throughout the procedure.

I shall be delighted to pass on your kind comments to Mrs Burns and Jamie, as well as the wider team in the Department of Restorative Dentistry.

Best wishes

Raymond
