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.

The wisdom tooth will have to go as most people don''''''''t have room for these to fit in their mouth. Usually and oral surgeon performs this procedure.My greater concern is that another tooth is loose. This usually occurs only when it is abscessed, has severe bone loss, or is fractured. Periodontal disease is a "silent" disease like cancer or heart disease, in that it doesn''''''''t ever hurt until you are in an advanced stage. If it has been over 3 years, you may have some other significant issues that you are unaware of. You can schedule an emergency exam to address the wisdom tooth issue, or a comprehensive exam if you would like to get the "big picture". My office is located by the Hampton Inn on JTB and our number is 273-3001. I hope to hear from you.Dr Burgess
