Yesterday my husband had to go see a strange oral surgeon. This was due to his dragging his heels on a crown, not wanting to pay the big price of $1200. Who could blame him?
But in the meantime he got an infection that went up above the roots, so he and his dentist agreed that he should have it pulled and he was sent to an oral surgeon.
We knew not whom we'd find, but Dr Mowry of Chula Vista could not have been surpassed as a person of compassion and intelligence. He put up patiently with our semi-senile maunderings in response to their medical questions. When we'd explored all the hurdles to a prompt ending to the situation with a quick tooth-pull, Theo got the quick tooth-pull.
It was five p.m. after a tiring afternoon, and we got the prescriptions filled at Kaiser and were home before six. Dr Mowry's office staff were a group of intelligent, quick and very sympathetic young Asian women. They all, the surgeon included, could n't have been more supportive and efficient. We were gratified.
Theo got some Tylenol with Codeine and I bought some plain Tylenol as well as I was out. I made him take a plain Tylenol last night before bed, but he has had no discomfort at all. It's a miracle. Thanks to God and a big thanks to a good dentist. YAZZYBEL
