I had put off gum surgery for over 10 years due to my fear of the procedure! My gums were getting so bad that my regular dentist convinced me that I really needed to have gum surgery before he could replace two crowns. On his advice, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Moore. On the morning of my surgery, I took one pill that Dr. Moore prescribed to relax me. By the time I was settled in the chair, I was not apprehensive at all. Before administering the anesthetic, he first sprayed a numbing solution on my tongue that took effect immediately. I can actually say I did not feel any pain during the procedure! I listened to my husband's I-pod the whole time. Better yet, I only took one pain pill after the anesthetic wore off, and I probably could have managed without it. My gums healed beautifully and with no complications! I am so happy I was referred to Dr. Moore and finally got this taken care of!
