Both were post op care on wisdom tooth extractions, one case where the DDS saw the patient 3 times in a week and did not refer to an MD/ER despite external swelling and difficulty breathing. That case ended up in the ER and the kid needed a trach--less than 1/4 inch airway left and over Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934098248197121161.post-28367149294132277852010-03-24T15:44:21.578-05:002010-03-24T15:44:21.578-05:00Now before you go blow your top about another dent...Now before you go blow your top about another dentist, I would first always talk to the dentist first.
