My child has had an accident and his or her tooth has been entirely knocked out. What should I do?
Contact the doctor's office immediately. If this occurs during off-hours, contact Dr. Weinstein using his pager. If possible, place your child's tooth in a cup of milk as the calcium from the milk will continue nourishing the tooth. There is a chance we may be able to restore your child's tooth.
How can I ask Dr. Weinstein questions directly?
You can e-mail our team at either care@texaswisdom.com for the Dallas office or Irving@texaswisdom.com for the Las Colinas office.
What precautions do you take to ensure patient safety?
Our team attends regular continuing education on the topics of infection control, sterilization technique, aseptic technique and patient safety. As safety is our primary concern, Dr. Weinstein requires that his team goes above and beyond what is required by law. All clinical team members are ACLS certified (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) in addition to being certified in Basic Life Support. The sterilization of instruments is carried out in a careful manner, all instruments bagged and sealed until used. The office is kept clean and disinfected at all times.
Patient safety is extremely important. It is in fact, the most important thing that we do. All patients health histories are carefully reviewed and discussed. Medications lists and allergies are taken into consideration. Patients are monitored carefully using state of the art equipment before, during and after anesthesia. Records are kept meticulously. Treatment is reviewed with the patient in detail before beginning. Everything that we do in our Dallas and Las Colinas offices comes down to the primary purpose which is to provide SAFE and EFFECTIVE surgical care.
What makes you different than any other Oral and Maxillofacial practices I can visit?Dr. Weinstein and his staff have more than 30 years of experience in oral surgery. But we think our practice is a unique experience because of our attitude with you. We make you feel special and we strive to create an environment that is soothing, calming and relaxing; you might even forget why you're here! |
 |
I really don't like visiting the dentist. Is there anything you can do to help me relax?
We are here to make your experience as stress-free as possible. You will never feel rushed or herded, but instead will have individualized care. For many people who are apprehensive, we recommend general anesthesia as this allows them to go to sleep, waking up when the procedure is complete. We also provide nitrous oxide, known as laughing gas, that allows you to stay awake during the procedure, but in a very relaxed state.
