Dear Restorative Dentist,

 

Re: Ms. Sarah Johnson DOB: 20 May 1988

 

I am writing to request dental restoration (filling) for Ms. Sarah Johnson, a 40-year-old patient who visited Bright Smiles Dental Clinic with tooth sensitivity and discomfort in her upper right premolar (#4). Upon examination, she was diagnosed with moderate dental caries in tooth #4.

Ms. Johnson, a marketing manager in good overall health, has been experiencing sensitivity to hot and cold stimuli, as well as pain when biting or chewing. Visual inspection confirmed the presence of a moderate-sized cavity on the occlusal surface of tooth #4. There are no signs of infection or swelling in the surrounding tissues.

Given the clinical presentation and the extent of the caries, I recommend dental restoration (filling) for tooth #4 as the appropriate course of action. This procedure will not only address the caries but also alleviate Ms. Johnson's symptoms and preserve the structural integrity of the tooth.

I kindly request your expertise in providing the necessary restorative treatment for Ms. Johnson. Your prompt attention to her dental care needs is greatly appreciated. Please do not hesitate to contact our clinic if you require any further information or assistance.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Dentist
