After the surgery I wan't even able to walk before they put me in a wheelchair and out the door. I told them I wanted to wait a bit and my friend who took me was worried about driving me when I was like that but they told her I was fine. There was about 5 minutes between waking up in the dental chair and pushing me out the door. While my vitals were normal and nothing terrible happened I'm concerned about the lack of time in recovery. I'm scheduled to have more surgery by this dentist next month and frankly I'm concerned and wonder if I should ask my general dentist to refer me to someone else.

And this might sound kind of petty but I'm also concerned that there was no call from the dental office the next day to ask how I am. I've always had these calls after any other surgery or c-scopes or anything along that line. Years ago I worked in a endodontist office and the first thing we did after settling in was to call previous day patients to make sure they were okay.

Like you say all office have their own protocols, not sure theirs and mine are a good match.
