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.

Dear Swolen Gums:I know this sounds too simple but you need an exam by a dentist ASAP. Receeded gums are a symptom of another underlying problem that needs to be addressed. The lumps under your tongue are probably boney outgrowths that are harmless, but without an examination I am just making an assumption. They could be something more serious. I would be happy to do an examination for you and give you my opinion. We are located on the St. Johns County line in the Jullington Creek area. Just call our office at 904-260-4250.

sounds like a gum infection, but the hard lumps are likely extra bone that is normally there and not a problem, but you notice it now that the gums are bothering you. We can set up an exam to determine the issues and needed treatment. I am in Ponte Vedra at 273-3001. Hope to see you soon.Dr Burgess
