"Wisdom tooth extraction"

I went in to have my upper, and lower right wisdom teeth taken out.

I was dreading the whole thing, but they made me feel more than comfortable. I was walked through each step as they took it, making sure there were no shocks during the process. Afterwards the healing process was explained very clearly to me, along with what to expect from it. Plus they let me keep one of the teeth afterwards.

It went probably better than I thought it would going in.

Dear GingerBread

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback on your experience with us. I'm pleased that we were able to make you feel comfortable by talking you through the process. It is good to know that the post op instructions we give are useful in managing expectations and I hope that the healing stage is going well.
