  • Hello and thanks for posting

    I'm sorry to read about your recent dental concerns.

    CT scans are particularly useful in dentistry as they usually provide a detailed view of the structure of the mouth and surrounding areas. They are also useful for assessing complex areas such as the jawbone, sinuses, and soft tissues.

    I'm afraid that until you get your results no one is going to be able to tell you anymore for now. Waiting in circumstances like this is never easy but I’m afraid there is no real way round this. Some people find talking it through with family and friends and keeping busy can sometimes help. But until you know more it’s natural to worry.

    I hope you find out more soon and that everything turns out to be okay. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
