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 Rowcroft Dental Centre. 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 Rowcroft Dental Centre 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!"

A wonderful dental practice. The whole team is professional, kind and helpful. I have been seeing Lucy Li for a few years now and she is a fantastic dentist. She is truly great at what she does and is so helpful and kind. She notices tiny changes and is a real safe pair of hands. She always has time for any questions and concerns you may have. Equally, hygienists Natalie, Lisa and Charlotte and their team are wizards. They all have so much knowledge and patience. My teeth brushing and flossing has improved immensely. They also take great care around any sensitivity and make you feel at ease. I also have to shout out the reception team. They are always friendly and helpful whether it is on the phone or in-person. You always feel welcome. If you are looking for a new dental practice this is a great one! Thank you very much!

They are all highly knowledgeable staff and particularly courteous and gracious. They listen to your needs and explain in detail each and every procedure. They are also understanding if you are fearful and put you as best they possibly can, at ease.

Apart from having to physically turn up everything else is sorted, none of my time wasted, highly efficient and effective system in place.

An appointment with the hygienist isn't normally a time for pleasure, but the hygienist who treats me is a delight - she listens to any concerns and responds appropriately, she makes every effort to cause minimum discomfort or distress, she treats me like an adult and, over a period of 6 years, the state of my teeth has improved enormously thanks to her care in conjunction with that of the dentist.

They have always been very good with my treatment and putting me at my ease as dentist appointments aren't my favourite pastime

I was a bit naughty. The reception lady told me Dr House was running on time ( because i was in an awful hurry to drive to London and leave on time) so instead of waiting for the dental nurse to collect me I snuck upstairs because it was the time for my appointment. I was lucky. Dr House was there and happy to see me.It turns out a patient was late so I had managed to be seen before them.I am not sure what had happened there but I was happy that I didnt have to wait for the late patient that should have been before me.I was glad I nipped upstairs.Best.Anna Maynard Monday 4.00 appointment

All of the staff are extremely friendly, listen to any concerns that you have with your teeth and don’t rush your appointment.

I had a great experience at Rowcroft Dental in Stroud. Lucy was very attentive and took the time to clearly explain all the treatment options, which really helped me feel at ease. I was quite nervous, but everything went smoothly. Her dental nurse/assistant was also excellent. They worked very well together, and the whole experience felt very professional and reassuring
