Hi

I contacted my dentist to book an emergency appointment due to severe pain. The earliest they could see me was a weeks’ time. I contacted 111 who arranged for me to be seen on the same day. Whilst at the appointment the dentist x-rayed my tooth, but nothing was detected. I was sent home asking to take painkiller to reduce the pain. Disheartened with the advice and the level of pain, something needed to be done. I knew something was really wrong for the level of pain and I could not possibly be taking continuous painkiller for the rest of my life. I had already been bearing with the pain two weeks prior to this 1st appointment. I was then seen by my own dentist, who also could not detect any problems with my teeth after an x-ray and a very brief examination. They put me on a waiting list to receive an appointment soon. I was recommended to contact AP dentist from a word of mouth, which is over an hour away from home. With this level of pain, I was willing to travel anywhere. I initially attended AP for a consultation only, as I wanted to know what the cause of the pain was. The dentist was able to detect a very fine crack on one of my maulers, stretching all the way to the root which the other two dentists had failed to detect. AP dentist did an amazing job with the full treatment of root canal and more. The staff where very polite, the dentist knew exactly what he was doing and it has been a huge success. When two other dentists failed but AP were able to, not only identify what the problem was but treat it successfully, I am left to believe in their capabilities, their expertise and the commitment they make to their patients. Thank you, AP dentist, without you I would still be on painkillers.
