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.

Hi.An abscess is a sign of infection, and requires that you be treated with an antibiotic, followed by dental treatment (root canal or gum treatment, depending on what is the source of the abscess). The liquid that oozes from an abscess is "pus", or pus mixed with blood; this may take 3 to 7 days on antibiotics before it clears up. If the source of your bleeding is periodontal (gum) disease, you might need periodontal treatment before the bleeding is reduced.Stopping your Plavix and aspirin therapy may be necessary to stop your bleeding, but it may not be sufficient; you will need dental treatment as well.Feel free to call us at 718-543-7283 (Monday) or 718-429-7744 (Tuesday) if you need any further information.
