Dental followup

[autographedcat]

Got an appointment for 9am at the dentists, and called into work to let them know I would be late. Drove down to be attended to and arrived about 10 minutes early, got my information updated with them, and sat down to read comics on the free Internet station they have in their lobby.

Finally got called back, and they took x-rays of the wisdom tooth and confirmed that yep, it needed to come out. And out it came, all while I breathed deep on the laughing gas and watched CNN on a TV mounted on the ceiling.

Best. Dentist. Ever.

Seriously, I love these guys. They are pleasant, efficient, and almost entirely pain-free. And don't underestimate the value of having a pretty girl pat you and tell you you're doing fine to calm the nerves. :)

If you live in Atlanta, I cannot strongly enough recommend DentalTLC in Sandy Springs. If you don't live in Atlanta, I think you should COME to Atlanta and see them anyway.

Starting to feel the side of my face again. i imagine by the time I get home, I'll want some painkillers again. But for the moment, all is well, at least with regards to my mouth.

Wow. Glad it went so well! *belated hugs*
Hm. Maybe I should. Come to Atlanta and see your dentist. Sigh. My wisdom teeth need to come out, too. I am scared s***less ...
If only it weren't for the issue of health insurance not valid in other countries. Sigh.

I had 2 wisdom teeth out...umm...a long time ago.

I wasn't scared, but it was annoying for the next couple of days.

Glad to hear it was painless! :)

Now, rest up, and stay off your mouth for at least a day. ;)

Thanks so much for the referral - I haven't been to the dentist since I moved to Atlanta, and I really need to go! Maybe I'll make an appointment with them.

No problem! Tell them I sent you! You won't regret making them your regular dentists.

Thanks, hon. *hugs*

If you're in the market for a dentist, I cannot tell you how much you NEED to come see these folks. I know all the problems you've had over the years, you'd really like them.

I'm glad it went so well; laughing gas is definitely fun.
