    NIGHTMARE 4 month healing process!
    Danyelle M.

    NIGHTMARE: FOUR MONTH HEALING PROCESS (Lengthy/detailed) I got my all four of my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Nash on August 11, 2016. Today makes one year since the surgery. You will find out the reason why I waited a year to write this toward the end of my review. On August 11th I went to her office and I filled out the paper work and paid. My first red flag was that they would NOT allow my mom to come in the room with me, I was 20 at the time and I wanted my moms support. Second red flag was when Dr. Nash's assistant came in to "prep" me for the surgery started to prepare numbing needles. So I ask... "Wait I thought you guys were going to put me to sleep." And he responded "...I mean if you want to go to sleep you can but that's gonna be an extra $300." So of course I said no because I was thinking about the price and not what would be best for me pain wise. And of course neither one of them explained the differences or the pros/cons to me. I would say that Dr. Nash was friendly, but by she greeted me by administering 5-10 numbing shots in my mouth! So she starts removing my wisdom teeth and mind you I'm awake so there are times when I have to stop her because I can literally feel the teeth ripping from my gums! All she would do was stop and administer 2-3 more numbing shots each time! I received about 20-30 numbing shots total through the entire surgery. She was literally, at one point, pushing down on my forehead to help her snatch the teeth out of my mouth (2 out of 4 of my teeth were impacted.) When I was done, that was it. She literally just said "don't spit because that will cause your mouth to bleed more and you cant eat solid food for 3-5 days." I didn't get any information on how to care for my mouth, didn't get any medical mouth wash, and I didn't even get a follow up appointment!!! And at the time I thought this was normal! By the time I got to the car BLOOD WAS LITERALLY FALLING OUT OF MY MOUTH. I was in severe pain already and I had just finished the surgery 15 minutes prior! I was hyperventilating and crying from the pain and my face had already swelled twice its size! I couldn't speak audible sentences because of the severe swelling and I couldn't even swallow! By the time I got to my house I was crying and literally stumbling because the pain was making me faint! My mom gave my one of her Vicodin, because I hadn't been to Walgreens yet to fill my prescription, AND IT WAS LIKE CANDY! It did not work AT ALL! Vicodin, VICODIN, did not work to ease the pain! And because I couldn't swallow, I literally had to drop the pill down my throat! Within 2 hours of the surgery, I had a cup next to my bed that was half full of blood and I was having to change my gauze every 5 minutes because my mouth was bleeding so badly! And, because I couldn't swallow or open my mouth for that matter, I couldn't drink anything but water for the first TWO DAYS after my surgery! I couldn't eat applesauce until my 3rd day of recovery! Because my swelling took a month to go away, I hadn't graduated to eating MASHED POTATOES until a month after my surgery! Half of the month of September I ate applesauce, carnation instant breakfast shakes, mashed potatoes and biscuits! I'll remind you yet again that I thought this was normal because nothing was explained to me and I didn't know any better. By mid September, I had started back eating solid foods but I WAS NOT YET PAIN FREE. Then, one day after eating solid foods for a while, I noticed that it felt like something was inside of my jaws on both sides! I opened my mouth and I saw that my jaw was PACKED full of the solid foods I'd started eating! YES, you read it right! I got my surgery August 11, 2016, and by October 11, 2016 I still had GAPING HOLES in my mouth from where the wisdom teeth were removed! So I literally had to take a toothpick and DIG the food out of my incisions and then rinse my mouth with water because of course I didn't have a syringe! Overall the incisions (holes in my jaw) didn't close up until late November! This unfortunately meant that I had to go back to a LIQUID diet until they healed to prevent infection! I also was not pain free until DECEMBER! That's a 4 MONTH healing process! And, to add insult to injury, I'm suffering from permanent numbness in my mouth! That is the reason why I waited a year to give this review! Because I wanted to see if the numbness would go away after a year and it still hasn't! The bottom row of my teeth as well as half of my tongue is still numb TO THIS VERY DAY! I apologize for how lengthy this review is, but I've said all of this to say DO NOT go to Dr. Nash! Please!
