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!!!!
