A 10! At least that's what my 14 yr. old daughter, Kirby, said after having frenectomy and cordicotomy (bone and tissue removed from between front teeth) surgery. I was concerned about the pain she would have and Dr. Remedios and his staff explained in detail the procedure to me and Kirby. Any anxiety she initially felt was gone and she was ready to go on the day of her procedure. There were no complications and now, a few months down the road, the gap that was between her two front teeth has completely closed! Kirby gives Dr. Remedios and his staff a 10 and I give them two thumbs up!
