Coldstream Dental Practice

Very understanding dentists who understand and can cope with my severe dental phobia

Mmmmmmmm ?

I've visited this practice three times 1/ to register. 2/ for an emergency appointment where I was told that I had an abscess under a tooth that needs to come out 3/ to get said tooth re moved, and now I have been waiting SEVEN YEARS to become a regular on there list, I know that we have had COVID so if we take 2years of for that that still leaves 5 years, when I first registered I was told that there was only a 6 month waiting list,

Effective enough service, but the local NHS Trust clearly has an odd view of the word 'central' - for most residents of Berwickshire it could hardly be less central or convenient.

Friendly staff .. Good dentists

Lovely dental practice

I just moved to the area and had to have an emergency consultation with an abscess in my tooth. I was in agony and my face was swollen up. I think it was the dentist called Mr. Collins who I faced timed with. He diagnosed my problem and gave me appropriate antibiotics with a full list of things to look for to make sure I did not get worse or have a reaction to the meds. I took two days of the pills and just as he said the pain went away and my face started to get back to normal. I still have three days to go and will of course finish the course. However, a very strange thing has happened. I have had a seriously bad back since a late baby in my 40's and it has progressively got worse leading to me getting severe pain after about 9 paces and having to sit down. Today, I not only felt better than I have felt in years that I actually went to the shops with my husband and daughter intending to sit in the car. I had a mask and gloves in the car so I decided to go into the supermarket . I not only went around with the trolley in that shop but went to another one and did the same thing - no pain in my back for the first time in 23 years. There must be something in the Amoxicillin that is helping my back. I think this needs investigating because I was told after an MRI that only an operation could help me and that was 50/50!

Very grateful for the emergency help
