After spending many years avoiding a dentist due to my fear, I had to get an emergency appointment for my wisdom tooth. I was absolutely terrified, but every single person I spoke to from the wonderful people on the phone triage line, to the receptionists, to the amazing dentist and dental assistants where brilliant.
It was such a smooth and easy experience. I am unregistered in Edinburgh, and they explained the process of getting registered and have given me such useful advice.
When I went for my appointment everyone was so great and efficient. They listened to me and understood how scared I was and went above and beyond to make me feel safe and alleviate my anxiety.
I had to get my wisdom tooth taken out, and despite it taking a bit longer that they initially expected everything was explained to me throughout.
I am beyond grateful for everyone involved and all the kind and wonderful care I received. It really helped to heal my fear of the dentist. Thank you.
