Dear Restorative Dentist,


Re: Ms. Sarah Johnson DOB: 12 July 1985


I am writing to request dental treatment for Ms. Sarah Johnson, a 43-year-old patient who presented at Bright Smiles Dental Clinic with a complaint of severe toothache in her upper right molars. After a thorough examination, I have diagnosed her with severe dental caries in the upper right molars.


Ms. Johnson, a marketing manager in good overall health, has been experiencing sharp pain while chewing, sensitivity to hot and cold, and trouble sleeping due to the severe toothache. Clinical examination revealed severe caries in the affected teeth with no signs of infection or abscess. No other significant dental issues were noted.


Given the extent of the dental caries and the associated discomfort, I recommend dental filling or crown placement to address the issue and provide relief to the patient. Your expertise in restorative dentistry is crucial in ensuring the best possible outcome for Ms. Johnson's dental health.


I kindly request your prompt attention and treatment for Ms. Johnson. Please feel free to contact our clinic if you require any additional information or assistance.


Yours sincerely,

 


Dentist
