"They are so professional"

My own dentist referred me to the Glasgow Dental Hospital as I take blood thinners which causes my blood not to clot. 

I waited quite a long time from my consultation to my actual appointment, all in all, almost a year. 

I understand the pandemic shut the world down for a while, so I wasn't worried about the time frame of the appointments. 

At my first appointment I got 6 teeth extracted. Angela was my dentist. She explained everything she was about to do, I was so nervous, I was shaking. I got the injection to numb my mouth, the only 2 that hurt were the very front teeth, the injection that feels like it's going into your nose, really not nice, it was that bad I had to hold the dental assistant's hand. 

As I'm on other medication that makes me become very dry, Angela kept putting vaseline on my lips, which I thought was very kind of her. 

As I felt the pain I had to get more injected, which made Angela not able to remove the remaining two, I'd have to get another appointment. 

I didn't wait long for my return visit. 

This time around I had Grant doing my extraction. Again I was so nervous but they put me at ease. Yes it did hurt but it was over in about 30 minutes. 

My experience at the dental hospital was better than I thought it would be. 

I'd recommend everyone to go there for extractions. Don't stress about anything as they are so professional. Even the aftercare information was good. I did have to contact nhs24, but apart from that it was plain sailing.
