First I want to thank the scheduling center for finding me an appointment when I needed it most. I had been up all night with a severe toothache. OTC meds were not able to ease the pain. Upon arrival at the Olivebranch location I was treated with courtesy. My wait time was short. I knew my pain was about to be over. Instead I met a Team that was not organized. Didn’t know where things were and did not know how to apply the BP cuff. Once the X-ray was taken, the Doctor stated I needed to see an Oral Surgeon. I asked if he could just pull it and again he stated I needed to see an oral surgeon. I asked if he could numb it for me and he said no. He gave me a referral and pain med and sent me on my way. I went to the parking lot and cried from pain and exhaustion. I called the oral surgeon and they were booked until 3/26. However, the scheduler at the oral surgeon said something I found interesting....the oral surgeon was only going to pull it!!! This whole time I thought my tooth had to be cut out. With all that, I called my former dentist and they worked me in. After prepping my mouth, my tooth was extracted within 30 seconds. Pain gone! Here’s my question to the idiot Doctor at American Dental..why did he say I needed an oral surgeon when I did not? Why didn’t he just tell me that American Dental does not perform tooth extractions? I’m glad I did not waste my time on calling around to fine an oral surgeon that may or may not have had an opening. When a patient is suffering, they need help. Not just a referral and pain meds just to be sent on their way. My dentist office did tell me that a lot of dentist are moving away from extraction as they do not make a lot of money of them. I’m very blessed that my now forever dentist treats his patients needs above anything else.
