Case Overview
Presenting Complaint

Treatment Plan

Outcome
Through systematic questioning and thorough analysis of the shared X-rays and symptoms, Dr. Kaumudi identified the exact origin of the problem and provided a clear solution. The diagnostic clarity gave Yogita the confidence to proceed with appropriate treatment.
Follow-up

Dr. Kaumudi's Clinical Notes
“This case exemplifies the importance of detailed diagnostic questioning in remote consultations. By asking specific, targeted questions about symptoms, timeline, and clinical presentation, combined with careful X-ray analysis, it's possible to arrive at accurate diagnoses even from a distance. The patient's frustration with unclear local explanations highlights the value of thorough, systematic diagnostic approaches.”
Patient's Experience
After my tooth filling in Nottingham, I started experiencing discomfort a year later. The local dentist's advice didn't clear my doubts about what was causing the problem. When I shared my X-rays and symptoms with Dr. Kaumudi, she asked very specific questions about my condition. Her systematic approach helped identify exactly where the problem originated and what the solution should be. I finally had the clarity I needed.
