Dr. Margaret Tuite Dental 7 Callary Road, Blackrock, County Dublin A94 KH76

"My 5 year old son was referred by our own dentist to Dr Tuite as he had an abcess on his tooth that required extraction, he was referred to Dr Tuite to have it done under General anaesthetic as he is very nervous of dentists. We had an initial assessment with Dr Kate Ferron and she was lovely, spoke to my son and put him at ease. We then got an appointment 2 weeks later for General anaesthetic with Dr Tuite. When we arrived my son was extremely nervous but all the nurses were very nice to him, chatted with him about his favourite pokemon etc. He had a hard time with getting the General anaesthetic but Dr Tuite and the rest of the team were lovely and very patient with him and also me. He had the work done while asleep and then moved to recovery where we were able to be with him until he came around, there was no rushing and they kept a close eye on him before we got the ok to go home. Even recieved a text from Dr Tuite today to see how he was doing after the surgery. All in all they done their very best to look after him and make sure he was OK and I'm very grateful for it. Would highly recommend."

"We brought our one and a half year old to Margaret Tuite Dental for an emergency examination today 4th of Jan. Our little girl had a horrible accident which pushed her 2 front teeth right back. The dentists examined and it was clear that the 2 teeth needed to be extracted straight away today. You can imagine with a 1 & 1/2 year old that this wasn’t going to be the easiest job or a nice experience for my daughter, us or the dentists. However while it wasn’t nice having to do it, the process was made better by Margaret and her team with their professionalism and their calmness while getting what had to be done quickly and efficiently. We are so grateful for how quickly they attended and how well they looked after our daughter providing instant relief . Highly recommended and thank you to you and your team."

"People don't realise how difficult treating children are. My thanks to Dr Tuite and her people for looking after my 6 year old nephew and helping him resolve his broken tooth."

"The emphasis here is on quantity of patients treated rather than quality of care. Like others have shared despite being a paediatric practice there seems to be a distinct lack of child friendliness, very little patience with my five year old child who multiple visits after an accident. After 125 euro consultation that took only 7 minutes including an x-ray I was appalled to be told by the dentist my son needs to cooperate quicker or I would be charged more. As a child focused practice it can do better, a lot better! If you have a choice I would try elsewhere first. I think the response below speaks volumes to the attitude."

"I brought my then 6 year old daughter to see Margaret Tuite. She had been diagnosed with Molar Incisor Hypermineralisation by our local dentist. Our dentist referred us to Margaret. As a result of the issue with her teeth our daughter developed a fear of going to the dentist. We waited 5 months for an appointment with Margaret, but we were happy that we would be in safe hands given the good reviews and recommendations. I phoned ahead of time to explain my daughters fear. The staff were really accommodating and helpful. On the morning of the visit again the staff were very welcoming and helped manager her fear. Unfortunately our experience with Margaret was the opposite. She was very firm with our daughter and dismissed her fear. She forcefully examined her while my daughter cried asking her to stop. I was extremely uncomfortable with the situation to the point that I pulled her hand out of her mouth. I have no doubt that Margaret is an excellent dentist but I was so disappointed at her lack of compassion for my daughters fear. This was a year ago and we have since found an amazing dentist and the fear has gone. She simply took the time to get my daughter comfortable, didn't push her and slowly explains what she's going to do on every visit. From my experience I would definitely not recommend Margert for anyone with a fear of dentists."
