Maria's dental emergency

Maria had been experiencing toothache - enduring 6 weeks of pain, reaching the point where she could no longer eat. At this point Maria booked an emergency appointment with us at Prospect Street Dental Practice. She called the clinic first thing in the morning and we booked her in within a few hours to see the dentist.

What we did

We saw Maria as soon as we could. Although our dentists are booked up well in advance we always leave a few appointments each day for the unforeseen emergency. When Maria came in, we took time to understand the problem and then used a digital X-Ray to help diagnose the issue as well as examine the tooth and surrounding areas carefully.

Outcome

The X-Ray showed Maria had an infection. Our dentist prescribed a course of antibiotics and invited Maria back a week later to ensure the problem had been resolved.

What did Maria say?

"I have been going to Prospect Street Dental Practice for over 25 years and I wouldn't consider changing to another clinic as I am always happy with service. I always get a warm and friendly welcome from all the team. I felt a few twinges with my tooth a while ago, but this had developed to the point where my mouth was swollen and I was in so much pain that I couldn’t eat. I was so relieved when I called the practice and they said they could see me the same day! The experience was actually fine, brilliant! My dentist gave me a course of antibiotics and I made a review appointment to see her a week later. I felt things had improved and she examined the area to check that was the case and the infection had gone. I am now totally out of pain and booked in for my 6 month Dental health review and with the hygienist too!"

I have been going to this Prospect Street Dental Practice for about two years for my routine check ups and cleaning. Really nothing to complain about. Reception is friendly, and all the doctors are very professional. Dr. Marina explains to me in detail the condition of my teeth, gums, and jaw during my routine checkup. Dr. Stefanie the hygienist is very precise, and although I have very sensitive teeth, I do not feel any pain or sensitivity during or after the cleaning seasion. I also had a night guard fitted by Dr. Darragh a few months back, he took all the time needed to make sure the fit is comfortable and was very friendly and open to any comments I had. Definitely recommend this practice.

I have been a patient at Prospect Street Dental Practice for several years and have consistently been impressed by the kindness, professionalism, and care shown by every member of the team. Recently, I experienced a minor dental emergency, and the reception staff were incredibly accommodating in arranging an earlier appointment with Marina. She resolved the issue quickly and expertly, making what could have been a stressful experience completely straightforward. I was particularly impressed by how gently the local anaesthetic was administered—it was genuinely the most comfortable and pain-free experience I've ever had. Thank you to Marina and the entire team for your exceptional care. I highly recommend Prospect Street Dental Practice

Excellent hygiene appointment with Misha and her assistant, Brianna. Misha was professional, thorough and caring, taking the time to explain everything clearly and provide helpful advice. The cleaning was excellent and my teeth feel noticeably cleaner afterwards. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have rapport with Dr Adam and trust her to act in my best interests. Dr Adam always explains in a non patronising manner and at 80 years old I still have a full set of relatively healthy teeth.

Dr Lindholme is an exceptional dentist. I have been fortunate to have been his patient for decades. The thoroughness of the staff is also to be commended
