I've heard many horror stories (possibly even ONLY horror stories?) from friends who've had their wisdom teeth out, however one of mine was giving me so much trouble that I decided it was time for it to be done. After much persuasion my normal dentist finally referred me through the NHS to get my problem tooth removed by a specialist. They suggested that the procedure could be a bit complex because of the way my gums were formed around the tooth. I was a little apprehensive about the quality of care I would receive and had looked in to saving up for a private extraction however I'm glad that I didn't do this in the end.
I was sent to see Tejal Patel. Dr. Patel was kind, funny, professional and totally put my mind at ease before the procedure started. She administered the correct amount of local anaesthetic and triple checked with me that everything felt good before the procedure began. The tooth was out less than a minute after this & my appointment was technically already over before it was even due to begin! I didn't feel a thing. Dr. Patel must have seen tens of thousands of teeth just like mine to know exactly how to pull it out first time without breaking it or causing other complications.
My normal dentist had hyped this up to be a big thing however it ended up being quicker, less painful, and more relaxing than even a routine hygienist visit.
10/10!!!! Thank you!!!!
I had an evening appointment with Dr Patel at NPH. I was fearing the worst as I thought the procedure would involve cutting my gum to remove the root.
Dr Patel's little team were so jolly that I felt at ease straight away.
Dr Patel herself was wonderful. Confident and efficient, with a great sense of humour, (and obviously very strong arms) she had my broken root out in less time than it took for the anesthetic to work.
I never felt a thing apart from the pulling and pushing.
If ever I need another extraction I hope that Dr Patel is the person to do it.
Many thanks Dr Patel.
Dr Tejal was incredible when she removed my impacted wisdom tooth, I had been anxious for months about the procedure and had been putting it off, however dr Tejal put my mind at ease and I was in the chair for probably 5 minutes, I genuinely couldn’t believe it was over so quickly! Incredible dentist and so caring and kind. Highly recommend.
After much fear and hesitation, I was finally having my lower wisdom tooth extracted. Dr Patel, along with being a true professional was gentle, calm, kind and thoughtful. She communicated what she was doing throughout the procedure and continually checked to make sure I was okay. I cannot recommend her enough.
Dr Patel was fantastic. I have had 2 lower wisdom teeth extracted, the experience was short and painless, she explained everything thoroughly and was gentle in her manner. I would recommend Dr Patel to friends, family and all.
