I saw Mr Karavidas today at the oral surgery outpatients clinic re wisdom teeth removal. I was really very nervous about the appointment as the last dentist I saw advised that all 4 wisdom teeth be removed under general anaesthetic when I had only been referred to that particular dentist re the possible removal of one tooth! I had also been told lots of "horror" stories by colleagues/friends re black eyes, bruising etc.after full wisdom teeth removal etc, so I was really feeling reluctant to go. I needn't have worried. Mr Karavidas was friendly, informative and listened to my many questions. He told me the facts without causing me an unnecessary worry and most importantly gave me time to think about the information provided and make my own choices re anaethesia options. The upshot is that I still require some wisdom tooth removal, however all 4 are not needed to be taken out and I have time to decide how I want to proceed. The recovery shouldn't be terrible and all in all he was reassuring. Having been to several outpatient appointments in different hospital departments over the years, this was a very pleasant, helpful and on time experience and I am really happy with the level of care I received. Thank you.
