I had 4 wisdom teeth extracted by Dr Moorhouse. I was concerned about this as I am 22 and past the "optimal age". My 2 lower teeth were horizontally impacted, concerning me about nerve damage. Dr Moorhouse assured me he would be careful and make a choice on how to proceed for my individual case during the surgery itself. He was very honest about the risks and not pushy about making me agree to go forward with it. His patience in answering questions and genuine concern was apparent and the main reason I agreed to the operation. On the day of my surgery I was nervous. I was given an IV mixture of pethidine (painkiller), propofol (hypnotic), and diazepam (relaxant). Within 15 seconds of the IV starting I was out and remember absolutely nothing. The surgery itself lasted about an hour, but it seemed like 5 seconds. It's been two 2 days and I'm healing very quickly. I was given a prescription for hydrocodone for pain and an antibiotic. Ice helps with swelling. I'm really surprised that I am not in more pain and very grateful that I have no nerve damage or loss of sensation. I have no dental insurance and his office is working out very reasonable payments with me. Highly recommended: honest, good at what he does, fair payment options.
out of 5 stars
