THIRD MOLAR EXTRACTION
Third molar extraction is another common procedure for oral
surgeons, and one that patients sometimes associate with an
image of discomfort and prolonged recovery. However,
patients at OSANT usually report that the procedure is much

Dr. Bell. “Medications have changed drastically over the years.
The new in-office I.V. anesthesia now in use has a more rapid
