Our family dentist referred us to Dr. Ringer because the teen needed his wisdom teeth extracted.  We arrived at the office 30 minutes before the appointment time to get the paperwork filled out and were then escorted to an exam room at 8:00am, the actual appointment time.  One of the friendly assistants showed us the teen's x-ray where we could see clearly which teeth would be removed.  We then met Dr. Ringer, who came in and went over the procedure with us and answered any questions that we had.  It turns out this is the same dentist who extracted my ex-husband's wisdom teeth in the 1990s, before our son was born.  My ex and I were escorted to another waiting room while our son was whisked away for his oral surgery.  This is a nicely appointed dental office with many rooms and elegant detailing; being an oral surgeon is obviously a good business to be in.  The staff at Dr. Ringer's office all wear the same cool scrubs and they are all very smiley, which is a good thing if being in dentists' office makes one nervous.  \n     About 30 minutes later, another assistant led us back to the recovery area, where our son was still knocked out from the anesthesia, but he had a blanket covering him and he was snoozing in a comfy looking La-Z-Boy.  The assistant reiterated the instructions for the food that the teen could and could not eat for the next week, as well as the prescriptions we'd need to fill, etc.  My son wanted me to film him coming out of anesthesia, so I had the Flip video cam ready, but he didn't do anything exciting like scream, curse, or cry-- boring.  So, my ex went and got the car while one of the assistants and I helped the teen walk in his dazed state to the vehicle.   A day later, the teen is tired of eating soft foods \"like an old person\" but he doesn't really have any pain and his cheeks don't even look like those of a chipmunk; I wish Dr. Ringer had been my oral surgeon when I had my wisdom teeth out.  I highly recommend him--his operation is a well-oiled machine.
