In need of an oral surgeon. Please recommend. I've searched online, and i'm more scared than I was before to have my wisdom teeth removed. Praying someone has had a personal experience with a great surgeon. My teeth are impacted by the way.

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Piyush Patel (practice name is Perimeter Oral Surgery) in Dunwoody. Used him twice (once for getting teeth pulled for braces in 2012 and once in 2015 for getting all 4 wisdom teeth out). Super friendly with a calming bedside manner, as is his staff. He gives you the option to do procedures under full anesthesia, partial anesthesia, or fully awake with numbing medicine. Both times, I elected to do it at least partially awake and the procedure was still painless and over super quick. His office staff even called me and sent me a card to make sure I was healing. His office number is 770-559-3648
Woke up in the middle of the night and realized that a cracked tooth that has been bothering me off and on now needs to come out ASAP, I live in Midtown does anyone know of a Dentist I can see ?????

Not all dentists pull teeth -- sometimes they refer to an oral surgeon. My regular dentist, Dr. David Goodchild in Dunwoody, is wonderful, but is out of town now. An oral surgeon we have used several times and been pleased with, is Dr. Patel, on Mount Vernon in Dunwoody. Not sure about availability -- but if they are not, maybe ask them for a referral. (770 559 3648) (There is always the possibility the tooth can be saved, maybe with a root canal and crown, instead of having to lose it entirely. .. who knows?) Good luck!!
