Huge thanks today to Polwarth Dental. Managed to crack a tooth and I called up this morning. I half expected based on previous experiences with other dentists it would take a few days to fit me in. Not here, they amazingly fitted me right in with an appnt this afternoon. I popped in and it was all sorted with a smile, even managed to avoid an injection! Everything is no trouble, brilliant service as always, really impressed! I travel halfway across Edinburgh to Willie and his team and it's worth it!
Had an emergency appointment with this dentist today and both him and the staff were absolutely lovely. As a 'lost' university student, they helped me through my worries and the dentist explained the procedure and everything that had to be done really well. They truly care about their patients. I could not recommend this clinic enough.

The teeth and the tooth attachments may give rise to painful symptoms as a result of decay, abscess, gum (periodontal) disease or eruption problems. The pain may vary from an intermittent or fleeting sensitivity; sensitivity to hot and cold that may indicate the early onset of decay; to the most dreadful acute throbbing pain caused by advanced decay and a dental abscess. In this latter case it may be impossible even to touch the teeth together and eating may be difficult.
At Polwarth Dental Clinic we understand that toothache can be very painful so why not contact us and see if we can help?
