Jan (new Dentist to me as my own Dentist was on sick leave the day of my appointment) was absolutely brilliant and very knowledgeable. He made me feel comfortable and safe, plus he explained everything before doing anything to my teeth, which I appreciated. Although I really dont like going to the Dentist, this was overall a positive experience for me.

I had an extremely poor experience at East Street Dental Practice, Barking, last year in 26/5/2022. I should have left a review early but nevertheless its never too late! I would not give them even 1 star! It was my first dental appointment with them and definitely the LAST one!! Just to let you know i am a qualified health professional myself so not nave or unaware of the procedures/techniques etc. After a 45 minutes wait, i was called in and really rushed through my examination. The dentist advised an X-Ray. The film provided was visibly too large for the oral cavity and on my asking they said oh thats what the NHS provides us with! The dentist and the hygienist were clearly in a rush and did not allow me to help myself or to give me a few minutes to adjust to the entire procedure. The dentists technique was so harsh and rough! He hurriedly shoved the film on the side of my mouth and along with the technician being equally unhelpful! That i sustained a laceration to the base of my mouth and the frenulum of my tongue!! I was bleeding from both of these when they took out the film from my right side of the mouth! It was extremely painful !!! as the sides of the film are very sharp!! (You could imagine having a sharp paper cut but 10 times more painful! ) I could feel the sharp pain and see notable blood coming out! Both the Dentist and the technician could not notice what they have done!! I still remember the hygienist/ technician just looking at me, unmoved with the amount of bleeding when i asked her for tissue papers to clean the blood! ( it clearly did NOT look like a gum bleed of gingivitis or inflamed gums) They said oh this much bleeding is normal to which i asked them to have a look inside my mouth and I had to tell them that they have given me a cut to base of the mouth and to the frenulum of my tongue!!! As i could easily localise the pain! (Frenulum is the fibre at the under surface of the tongue) They then gave me a mirror and i showed to them what they had done! to which the hygienist clearly looked freaked out and the dentist asked her to give me cold water to rinse the mouth. They showed No empathy towards me and i kept pressing at the base of my mouth myself! Their only task now was to me make me go away as soon as possible! as the dentist quickly said 2 conventional ending statements regarding the next appointment and payment!!! An X-Ray is supposed to be a painless, benign investigation!! Not as painful and traumatic as i had to experience at their unskillful hands!! If NHS is giving you bigger films which are not fitting your patients, i think there are pathways in place where you can feedback to them and ask for smaller sizes!! OR maybe trim them a little bit to make them bearable for the miserable patients who come to you for treatment! I sustained an iatrogenic trauma (which was totally avoidable) from your hands while just coming over for a routine check up!! Totally unskillful, and unprofessional. They need to train themselves better before causing people injury. Please Avoid this Dental Practice!!!
