20 lik dişlerim gömülü olduğu için çok ağrı yapıyordu. Dişçiden çok korktuğum için genelde erteledim. İnternetten yorumlara bakarak westdente gittim ve çok memnun kaldım. Onur beye çok teşekkür ederim. Çok kibar ve nazikti. Çok ilgiliydi. Süreci sürekli anlatarak sakinleşmem konusunda yardımcı oldu. Ve daha önce çektiğim ağrının, yarısını bile çekmedim operasyondan sonra. Artık genel kontrollerim için ve ailem için gideceğimiz tek hastane.
20 lik diş ve ona bağlı olmuşmuş bir çene kisti tedavisi için başvurdum. Tedavi süreci ciddiyetle planlanıp, gerekli operasyonlar vaktinde yapıldı. Zor bir süreç olmasına rağmen benim açımdan kolay geçmesini sağlayan Hande hocam ve Onur hocama teşekkür ederim.
