the Price of Wisdom Teeth Removal

I had two of my wisdom teeth removed. I elected to be put out as opposed to having the surgery done with just local anesthetic. I went to an oral surgeon that my doctor recommended to me.

The surgeon was very through in explaining exactly what would happen. They gave me gas to knock me out and the next thing I knew I had woken up. They had my mouth stuffed full of gauze. They had be wait there for about a half an hour before they would release me because I was really out of it when I woke up. Before I left they changed the gauze on my wounds and gave me a prescription for pain relievers. As soon as I woke up they called the person who was coming to get me so by the time I was ready to go my friend was there and ready to take me home. They gave me written instructions as to how I should clean the wounds and re-gauze as well as a list of foods to eat and foods to avoid. They scheduled a follow up appointment to remove the stitches, which was included in my initial cost. The staff was all very friendly and helpful.

Just make sure you get a good recommendation. Especially if you elect to go under. It is a surgery and isn't the time to try to save a few bucks.
