For a person who has anxiety issues, going to the dentist when you know you have to have teeth pulled is extremely hard. I had been told by Dana the hygenistwho works at Ora that I had a couple of lose wisdom teeth, but being the procrastinator that I am, my dentist Dr. Kralj told me when I was ready to have them pulled just to let him know. I had my wisdom teeth removed just two weeks ago and I really do not know why I was scared. From the moment I met Dr. Koos and he explained everything to me….I realized I was in good hands. On the day of the proceedure his assistant (who was extremely nice) took me back to one of his surgery rooms. He explained he was going to put this little “bozo nose” on me which had laughing gas in it. Next thing he did was to put an IV in my hand which I never felt going in … In 1/2 hour Dr. Koos was done and waking me up. Once I was awake he explained everything I had to do. Keep a cold compress on the swelling sites and take Ibuprofin. If the pain became too bad he also sent me home with a prescription for pain medication. Dr. Koos called later that night to find out how I was doing..or to see if I had any questions. I honestly slept most of the day…and I awoke the next day to find out I had no swelling and not a lot of pain. I just couldn’t eat solid foods for awhile.
I can’t thank him enough for taking the time to walk me through the proceedure and care enough to call to find out how I was.
If I need more oral surgery…..I will definately see Dr. Koos and recommend him to anyone who needs his help.
I also recommend anyone who needs to see a regular dentist go to see Dr. Kralj he is extremely nice and does not push you into having things done you just can’t afford.
I can’t say enough about the office staff they are wonderful.
