Eric D Swanson DMD, MD

I have had extractions before, and it’s always a scary experience. Dr. Swanson was by far THE BEST doctor I’ve ever had when it comes to pulling teeth. He has a very light hand with anesthesia and I barely felt the needle. My tooth had broken off completely down to the gum line and I thought I would need actually surgery to get it out. He was able to pop it out the old fashioned way with forceps in a matter of minutes. He has a sweet and professional demeanor that is very calming in this stressful situation.

$ 1625 to get all 4 wisdom teeth extracted, ouch! Every time I went in to the office I felt like once I saw the doctor they were rushing to get me out of there and see the next patient. After waiting for 20 minutes Dr. Glyman looked at my teeth and said all 4 would be easy then he lead me out so I could make my appointment with Mina (I think that’s her name). He did not explain anything about the procedure, Mina was definitely the most helpful and charismatic. I was very nervous for my surgery since I had never been on general anesthesia and Mina was kinda enough to easy my nerves. She also did a really good job at rescheduling me last minute since I had to cancel.
The day of surgery I had to wait almost an hour to be seen. Dr. Swanson was nice and he made small talk before I knocked out, I remember him pulling on 2 of my teeth and being a little bit uncomfortable. It was all very fast and I felt they were rushing, no one explained to me what they were doing or how it would take place…
Post surgery was very smooth and I was not in much pain, just discomfort. Mina called by the end of the day to check on me, thank you! For the price I expected more professionalism and not just one more patient they needed to see to cash my check. Guess that’s how it is in America.
The office is kind of hard to find

Went to some dentist because I had a horrible pain in my upper back molar. He explained that I needed to have the tooth removed because It had broke in half and was badly decayed. The dentist stated that he would love to tackle the extraction, but felt a little nervous about the procedure. He recommended Dr. Swanson. I called same day and they had a appointment open so I rushed right over to their Flamingo location. The location is a little out dated style wise, but I was not seeing a designer. I waited in the lobby for about 10 min and the front desk lady was very rude when I asked about the bathroom, I am sure she was very busy. I then saw Dr. Swanson. He stated my 15 and 16 tooth had an extra tooth that was growing in and broke off. I was rescheduled a couple weeks later for the extraction so I could take my antibiotics. The weeks past and I was ready to go. Feeling nervous as hell I showed up to my appointment 15 min early. I am a heavy gagger and cant have even a toothbrush in my mouth without possible throwing up. I explained this to the staff which was very polite and understanding. They said not to worry and they deal with this all. the time. Dr. Swanson came in, he is a very tall gentlemen but makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. He wanted to make sure I had a good understanding of what was to happen during the procedure and if there was anything I needed. As he began I was waiting for the shot pinch that most of us hate, he did it so fast I DID NOT FEEL A THING… let me repeat this… I DID NOT FEEL A THING WHEN THE DR SHOT MY GUMS. I have never had that before. so the big scare was over. He waited about 15 min for the medicine to set in and came back. After a few tugs and a pliers pull (lol) the tooth came out. Took about 2 minutes. So fast I didn’t even know what happened. I looked at other extractions on Youtube to see how bad they might bleed as I hate blood. My extraction, nothing. half a gauze for about 10 min and then no blood. I listened to the nurse instructions and I was out. Total of about 20 min. They prescribed me some antibiotics and pain medicine which I was to take as then next day was supposed to be the worst pain. NOTHING. I mean NO PAIN AT ALL. Went to the drive in and played wiffile ball all day. I am so impressed at this dentist. If you are nervous or a gagger I highly recommend Dr. Swanson and his staff. This is how you should experience a DENTIST visit…
