Center For Corrective Jaw and Facial Surgery

Just had my wisdom teeth pulled, all 4 of the little boogers. This sucks! I’m bored, on vicodin, and I can’t eat. I don’t know if it gets worse?! But, Dr. Van Wagenen was very nice. One of my wisdom teeth was killing me! I called my dentist (Dr. Starr) and he referred me downstairs to Dr. Van Wagenen. I called the office and the receptionist was SO sweet and kind. She said consultations for wisdom teeth are typically not done on Friday, but she squeezed me in. Good thing too, because one of my wisdom teeth became infected, I had a consultation with him on Friday, then he (and the lovely receptionists, again) squeezed me in for that Monday to have them removed.
Thank God for insurance too! It would have been about $ 1600 to extract all 4 teeth, consultation, and the drugs. Woo Hoo for insurance!
The assistants are all very sweet too! I can’t say enough kind things about the staff!
I have 1 tiny gripe. My veins are super small, I’ve always had problems with needles because of them. I usually tell people to give me the butterfly needle, but I forgot this time before I got my anesthesia. He stuck me once in the arm, it didn’t take and it bruised, then I had to have it in my hand, that too was bruised. :(My hubby’s also a phlebotomist, so he was inspecting my arm.
