Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

You should check first with your O.B., but it is usually safe to have dental treatment done during pregnancy, with a few added precautions. If you would like you can call my office tomorrow and set up an appointment for a consultation. We use digital radiography, which requires 90% less radiation than conventional X-rays.Dr. Jared Plitt(305)534-2525

I am sorry for your unfortunate situation. Yes, It should probably be removed for your health and well-being as well as for your developing baby. I would need to see you in consultation first. Typically this should be performed with local anesthesia (Novocaine) because you are pregnant. Intravenous anesthesia shouls be avoided. Also, please DO NOT take any ASPIRIN or MOTRIN/ADVIL/IBUPROFENI would be happy to see you in my office. I am very near you in West Boca/Parkland area561 886-0288Dr. Ronald KatzDiplomate, American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeonsLet us know if we can help you
