I came in for long-scheduled gum surgery -- only to find that, to my amazement (as well as the excellent Dr. Hassan's), my dental care from Andrea, Dr. Reddy and Dr. Hassan has been SO excellent, I actually DIDN'T NEED THE SURGERY. As if by magic, my gums has actually healed themselves -- an apparently exceedingly rare phenomenon -- to such an extent that a set of gums in dire need a year ago (with real danger of losing a molar) exhibited no such sign at yesterday's pre-surgery exam. I've admittedly gotten into an effective pattern of home hygiene, but that was mostly my amazing Hygenist Andrea's doing -- connecting with me on a social level without shame or guilt. Bravo once again to this amazing -- and yes, I can now say "miraculous" -- team!
