My daughter had four impacted wisdom teeth removed. She is 14. She was strapped to the bed as a "safety precation". Though the osi website states clearly that sutures WILL be placed, and prophylactic antibiotics WILL be given (not "may be given"), neither of these were carried out by Dr Carter in our case,plus he was rude. After 6 days, her pain is still requiring pain meds every 4-6 hours to the point of tears, and swelling is still very significant. I am a healthcare provider, and was shocked that my daughter was sobbing immediately upon waking from the anesthesia, but was told her tears were from the anesthsia. This has not been my experience with any other surgical procedures requiring normal anesthesia/sedation that I have been involved with. I was also shocked that the entire, somewhat complicated, impacted wisdom teeth extraction procedure, from start to discharge, took less than 45 minutes. I have not experienced, nor witnessed, nor heard of from others' experiences, such a seemingly barbaric and rough procedure.. and I have worked in many surgical settings with many different types of surgeons and procedures. I would advise prospective future clients to definitely seek a more compassionate and proactive oral surgeon.
