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 Temple Square Dental. 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 Temple Square Dental 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 mainly started going here because I wanted to try and get an anti-snoring mouth device fitted. I was impressed by the modern technology and how they used it to make it a fast and painless process, and the device itself works very well. They went over the care and maintenance parts thoroughly with me and you can tell they care. Speaking of, all the staff are extremely friendly and have given me a superb experience. I would highly recommend this dentist.

Dr Jacqui Kemp is an excellent dentist; gentle, thorough and very reassuring. I’ve been attending Temple Square for over 30 years and I have always been very satisfied with my dental treatments. My previous dentist there has retired but I feel in equally safe hands with Dr Kemp.
