---Had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. Also had #13 removed because it grew in toward my tongue and chipped 14 which i went to get RC'ed and Crowned.. My Lower Right Wisdom Tooth was badly impacted..

---Anesthesia---: When i got there for the surgery, wait time was VERY minimal. I then sat down, Dr. Cusumano cane right in and greeted me then got the Intravenous Anesthesia and had me calm as ever and then i was out (sleep) and didn't even know it.

---Waking Up---: Didn't even know the surgery was done felt totally numb and walked right out after the Post-Op. Left with Pain Meds.

---Pain 2 Days Later---: Noticed a kinda throbbing sensation in my mouth on the right side and couldn't open it more than 1/3rd of the way, nor could I figure out what it was. Suddenly i go to eat and theirs a bad smell and pain everywhere... and my Right side has a lump like swell on the jaw bone a little off from the extraction site... which was odd to me.
I then go back to him and he tells me i have Dry Socket in the Bottom...(top was fine except for 1 unusually long stitch like i was cut to far). He then packs it with clove material and then gave me more meds and told me keep it clean with syringe... MORE PAIN... i go back 1 week later with the lump and just pain on the right... and he touches it... packs it with a longer lasting packing this one was wintergreen tasting. gave me more meds. Hurt to eat! 1 week later still have Lump and thinking he mistakenly left a chipped piece or broke my jaw bone on accident and didn't tell me. he xrayed my TEETH (not jaw) and said i see no pieces... i don't know what you are talking about and i think ur here for more meds and im not giving them to you... i said no im here because i still have a lump... the pain finally went away but the lump hurts when you push it... ans he said i don't see how you can have this pain... you may need to give it more time and go see the dentist...

----Month and a half Later I still have Gaping holes in the back of my mouth and still have a socket up top between my 12 and 14... and LUMP IS STILL THERE!

----but oh well nothing i can do about it... IM BROKE!

Wisdom Teeth: Dr. Cusuman extracted one of my wisdom teeth when I was 6 months pregnant. He just recently extracted the other 3. He and his staff were awsome. They made me very comfortable and there were absolutly no problems. I would recomend this practice to ANYONE needing oral surgery.

Amazing experience and results: For 20 years, my husband had strenuously avoided having a difficult wisdom tooth removed. Yesterday, due to considerable pain and spousal nagging, he agreed to have it extracted. The office staff was personable, accommodating, efficient and professional. Dr. Cusumano took into account my husband's medical history and was reassuring and personable, soothing my husband's fears; he performed the surgery expertly. My husband had only a minimum of discomfort afterward.
We both highly reccommend Dr. Cusumano's practice.
