I honestly walked into Dr Sarah's clinic carrying years of frustration.
Ever since i had my lower right wisdom tooth removed years ago, i was convinced the dentist had damaged the tooth infront of it during the extraction. The tooth eventually fracture and became extremely sensitive, and in my mind i had already decided what had happened. Because of that, i developed alot of distrust and kept putting off treatment.
My medical doctor told me "If you want the truth, go see Dr Sarah. She's one of the few dentists who will tell you exactly what is going on, even if it means not doing treatment."
That recommendation was probably the best dental advise i ever received.
What stood out immediately was how much time she spent investigating before saying anything. She didn't just glance at an xray and jumped into conclusions, in fact she refused to put the blame on my previous dentist. She took photos, showed me the xrays, drew diagrams, showed me in the mirror, and walked me through the entire history of the tooth. Within minutes i realized what i had believed for years wasn't actually the full story.
The tooth had an old filling and deep decay hidden underneath it, which had weakened it long before the wisdom tooth was extracted by my old dentist. Nobody had ever explained it to me in a way that made sense until that day. I left the consultation feeling relieved more than anything else, and the grudge i had towards my previous dentists were gone although i should have been informed that a tooth had been fractured during the procedure. It sounds silly, but it felt like a weight had been lifted because i finally understood that it was not a perfectly healthy tooth that had been broken, but rather it revealed that it also needs a treatment.
The treatment itself was even more impressive!
Other dentists say this tooth would most certainly need a root canal treatment. Dr Sarah explained that while it might eventually need one in the future, she wanted to first try the most conservative approach possible. Her attention to detail was incredible. You could tell she genuinely cared about preserving my natural tooth rather than automatically choosing the bigger procedure.
She carefully removed the decay and the old broken filling while protecting the nerve, then placed a specially designed restoration with medication underneath known as "indirect pulp capping."
The difference was unbelivable!!
A tooth that had become so sensitive to even air is now completely pain free. No lingering ache. No sensitivity. No constant reminder every time i eat. I almost forget which tooth it was.
The moment that really earned my trust was when i asked about my remaining wisdom tooth. I was expecting to hear that it should come out too. Instead, she smiled and told me it wasn't causing any problems and didn't need to be touched. No pressure. No unnecessary treatment. Just honest advise.
As strange as it sounds, i left feeling happy that i got to keep my last little wisdom tooth.
Dr Sarah didn't just fix my tooth, she changed my entire view of dentistry so if you want an honest dentist in Dubai, someone who explains everything, gives genuine second opinions, and focuses on saving teeth whenever possible, i wholeheartedly recommend Dr Sarah
