Patient in Pain

One of our orthodontic patients called on behalf of his friend whose wisdom tooth was causing him pain and urgently needed to be seen as he is flying off on Monday.

An arrangement was made for our oral and maxillofacial surgeon to see the patient after office hours on an emergency basis. The patient arrived early for his appointment but our oral surgeon was held up in the operating theatre and did not arrive until 7 pm.

The removal of the wisodm teeth was completed and resorbable sutures was placed in view of the patient's travel plans. The eliminated the need for the patient to change his plans just to remove the stitches. The patient had his dental problem resolved and left by 7.30pm.

By special prior arrangements we are able to accommodate our patients at a time that suits their schedule.
