Real Stories, Real Smiles

Transforming Lives, One Smile at a Time

Finally got some relief!!! These people didn’t give up. The original doctor I saw Monday said nothing I can do. He could’ve referred me to a oral surgeon… so I sat in their parking lot and called all dentists in Asheboro and these were the only people with openings. Walked back in, and had them transfer my records. High point university opened a dental practice and operate in several locations  to teach their students. I was seen in the Asheboro office by an oral facial pain specialist/general dentist. She couldn’t see anything either. I said give me your hand and as bad as this will hurt me stick your finger there to feel it. She referred me to the surgeon that’s associated with them after feeling abnormal spicules and spurs. I had the pleasure of the assistant dean of dentistry and the chief clinical officer for HPU health work on me today at atrium hospital Hayworth cancer center alongside one other professor who specialized in pain and general dentistry. I broke down in tears and said I had to go thru hell to get to you please help me… they said this happens all the time  to people that have oral cancer problems (which I don’t have) having to go through hoops and that it shouldn’t and they are glad they could help. I am in some pain now but just from the incisions  and a headache from the bone file down thing but the pressure is now gone and the bone fragment spurs that were protruding the healing process have been removed. I just wish more providers would listen when patients describe they are in pain they couldn’t explain with X-rays… Thankful to now have providers who care!
