Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

What you''''re describing sounds like there''''s infection present. If that''''s the case, you need to get started on an antibiotic as soon as possible. You''''ll need to be evaluated to see what drug and dosage is appropriate. I suggest either a trip to the emergency room or you can call my office and see if someone can squeeze you into the schedule before the weekend. If this is an impacted wisdom tooth like your email suggests, it will need to be removed for your problem to be solved.
