A great bed side manner. Tries to put his patients at ease. He is a very compassionate Dentist. I had a tooth extraction from another dentist in the Redmond area. The dentist used way too much lidocaine and took about 45 minutes removing my tooth. This was the 6th tooth extraction I've had. Previous extractions took about 5-10 minutes.
I ended up with an infection at the extraction site. I did multiple follow ups with the dentist and was just given pain medication and told I might need a night guard because the dentist thought my pain was d/t teeth grinding in my sleep. Mouth guards cost around $500-$750. I've never used pain medication in my life and have never had a tooth extraction this horrible. I didn't think teeth grinding was what was happening.
I sought Dr. Bell as a second opinion after reading reviews online. I told him that I tasted a blood like liquid that was oozing from the tooth extraction site and I thought it was infected as I dabbed a tissue to the site and saw yellow liquid.
Dr. Bell took about 5 seconds and told me that my site was infected, did a culture, and prescribed antibiotics. My jaw felt so much better the next day and I tossed my pain meds away.
I highly recommend Dr. Bell to everyone!!
