"Appauling service and incomplete service!"

About: Birmingham Dental Hospital

On my initial visit to the Dental Hospital I was seen by a dentist who explained to me about the treatment I would receive on my two front bottom teeth.

They told me that the operation would consist taking out the old route filings, cleaning and the routes being filled with new fillings.

When I arrived for my appointment on Thursday 10th September, another dentist explained that they would only be dressing them and I had to consult my dentist for the fillings. I told them that I had soft bone tissue and that my Dentist was not able to carry out this procedure.

Having spoken to my Dentist, they have advised me that they are unable to do this procedure, as it is complicated, I have soft bone tissue and the whole reason I was referred to the Dental Hospital was to be seen by a professional who could carry out this procedure..

As you can imagine I am appalled by the level of service I have received by this dentist.

I am now left with two bottom teeth, dressed but not filled and will probably be infected again.

After consulting another dentist , they too say the Dental hospital should have completed this work.

I am now in limbo and feel that the hospital should have me back to complete the work.
