Specializes in Dentistry

Yes: You can certain discuss you wishes, needs, motivations, concerns, fears, financial situation with a dentist. We only want to help our patients in any way we can and help them make the right decisions for what is in their own best interests. Sometimes we treat patients in stages for any number of reasons (i.e. time, cost, apprehension, etc.) Find a dentist you trust and ask/discuss your situation.

Absolutely: The Dentist will either treat yo9uy or refer your to an Oral Surgeon, depending on the degree of difficulty of the extraction. He/she will probably need to take an x-ray of the wisdom tooth roots to enable appropriate treatment. Once your emergency situation has been resolved, please consider returning to the Dentist for completer professional care.
