This review is a long overdue - In 2013, on my first day of college, I started experiencing serious tooth pain. It felt obvious that it must be an impacted wisdom tooth, since the pain was coming from that area. The pain was so bad that I couldn't sleep, think or do anything really. The cheek area above the tooth and right below my eye also weirdly started swelling up.
I started searching for emergency dentist/oral surgeon appointments and Dr. Marc Smith got me in first thing in the morning the next day. After the wisdom tooth removal, Dr. Smith took CT scans since there was some belief that an infection may have spread from my tooth into the sinus. After reviewing the scans, he suggesting that I check in at the hospital.
I was there for a few days, getting antibiotics through IV. The swelling wasn't improving and kept worsening, getting closer and closer to my eye. The doctor at the hospital wasn't really doing anything beyond cycling more antibiotics.
Dr. Smith called and came in on Sunday afternoon to check in on me. Within 15-20 mins of him being there and looking me over, he decided to operate and pull out the mucus buildup manually.
After a day, I was instantly feeling better and left the hospital shortly after. I fully recovered.
I cannot thank Dr. Marc Smith enough for what he did for me. He was persistent and was genuinely worried about me. He cared enough to call and come in on Sunday to check in on me when he didn't have to. He made an exception to get me in for an emergency wisdom tooth removal when he didn't have any regular availability. There was a whole staff of doctors at the hospital, but he was the one that ultimately found the solution.
Thank you so much Dr. Marc Smith! I highly recommend him for any and all dental surgery needs. read more
