Last week, I needed to have a small cavity filled in a very tight spot in the back of my mouth. I worked with Dr. Mina Yacoub and he used a new tool called the Isolite Suction Mouth Prop. I have a tiny jaw and it has often been difficult for me to keep my mouth open during these kids of procedures. It was FANTASTIC. It was comfortable in my mouth and did all of the work for me. Dr. Yacoub was exceptionally patiently with me and the experience (as far as getting a cavity filled can be) was EXCELLENT! Thank you so much to Dr. Yacoub and his team!
