Here is a confusing situation. Who is better qualified to say whether a
wisdom tooth should be extracted - an oral surgeon or a dentist? The dentist
says it should be extracted soon, the oral surgeon says it looks fine.

I've discovered today "A SURFACE DETECTION SYSTEM FOR USE WITH A
DROPLET SPRAY ORAL
CLEANING DEVICE" and "A LIQUID DROPLET SPRAY CLEANING SYSTEM FOR TEETH
WITH TEMPERATURE AND FILTER CONTROLS".

Hi. I was recently referred to a dentist by my physician due to
swelling of my right cheek and pain in the root area of my upper right

Looking for a new dentist.  (I'm sorry I'm too far away from SB!)   I see a

difference?
