When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Impacted wisdom teeth should be handled by an Oral Surgeon. In most cases the patient would have the option to have IV Sedation, usualy only done by a Dental-Oral Surgeon, their main specialty is Wisdom Teeth Extraction/Surgery-they do this all day long-every day... In some cases the Surgeon might recommend just local anesthetic (numbing), but in most cases you will want to be out, and just wake up when it is over-trust me!! You should seek an exam with an Oral Surgeon, and follow their advice. They will take a Panoramic X-Ray, and that will usualy tell all.Hope this was helpful..Thanks, Reem Kidess, DDS, FAGD, PLLCParadise Valley, AZwww.PVsmiles.com
