I been here for an NHS treatment and it's been the most awful dentist experience of my whole life.
I been waiting a couple of weeks to get to my appointment even having a tooth badly fractured and a cavity that was giving me really strong pain then they cancelled it less than 24 hours before and postponed it of 10 days. In the meantime my situation degenerated and the tooth get broken more, I finished my antibiotics cycle and the cavity started giving me agony again. The day before my postponed appointment they called me again trying to cancel it again and I started to argue with them about so they just changed time of it but same day.
I finally get there, everyone was rude, seems they weren't even expecting me there as they were lock inside and not opening. The dentist checked my issues, decided that was nothing to do, suggested me to remove both teeth at the hospital, that he doesn't make root canals and to go to a private to make such kind of works and told me that even with NHS highest band payment wouldn't be able to bridge more than one as it "doesn't worth the money paid of the NHS band".
I left astonished, I called back 111 and told em all about. They confirmed me that it's absolutely not suggested an extraction when's possible to keep the original tooth to don't destabilise the dental structure, that actually NHS dentists executes root canals and that the highest band of NHS dental treatments covers ALL THE TREATMENTS THE YOU DENTAL HEALTH REQUIRES INCLUDING ALL THE REPLACEMENTS OF MISSING TEETH and not just one as he claimed.
They booked me on the same day for another emergency NHS dentist which it made me choose between remove or make root canal, he made the root canal being very professional, clean and polite and I barely noticed him working on it. In less than one hour I was on my way back home.
I think that the "dentist" at trinity dental care it's not even for real a dentist and I hope they close that awful hole where they practice.
In terms of actual treatment - I came for a consultation and asked for a more experienced doctor who I know is male and owner of the clinic. Then I came and was assigned to the young girl who doesn’t even know how to properly do the check up. She took X-rays but they didn’t have digital X-rays so she was looking at the tiny X-ray copies and then telling me that she doesn’t see any issue. When i told I was told in a different clinic much better where I went privately that I have to do filling in one of my upper tooth she asked which tooth… seriously it’s for you to figure out as a dentist…!! Sit down again with your tools and ask me. When I asked if there is a more experienced dentist that can take a look she took offense and went to complain not sure if this is a family shop but it seems like it… bad experience , they will do me a favor by de-registering me!!! No thank you very much.
