George W May Jr, DMD

If you’re in the Jackson, MS area and are in need of an oral surgeon, I cannot recommend Dr. May highly enough. Unfortunately, I’ve had to see several oral surgeons in my lifetime thus far and there is no better than Dr. May. He’s excellent at what he does and he has such a wonderful bedside manner.
I first saw Dr. May many, many moons ago when I was only 20 years old (1993… yes, I know I’m giving away my age LOL). He removed all four of my wisdom teeth at the same time while I was under IV sedation. The procedure went beautifully that morning. I came home afterwards and slept, then woke up and ate some mashed potatoes, then slept some more, then that night I was out with my husband at a friend’s house playing poker, drinking, and eating chicken strips. No pain.
Fast forward to 2011…
I was visiting MS for a few weeks and needed to have a tooth extracted. It had broken off at the gum line and I knew it was be darn near impossible for a general dentist to dig it out, so I called up Dr. May because I knew he’d be able to get it out quickly. They were able to work me in the same day, thank goodness. Dr. May was so sweet and so kind, as were his assistants and front office staff. After numbing the area, he had that broken tooth (basically just the roots remained) out in under 2 minutes… I kid you not.
Unfortunately, after the extraction, I had some bone fragments which remained. This is common and it usually just takes time for them to work their way to the surface and they come out on their own with little to no pain. In some instances, they cause the area to be extremely painful and have to be removed by a doctor… I was lucky enough for this to happen. I went back to Dr. May a few days later and he removed them just as quickly as he’d removed the tooth and he did it at no charge. He was also very sympathetic to the extreme pain I was in and gave me another RX for necessary medication.
I worked in the dental field for a decade. During that time, i came into contact with a lot of oral surgeons in both MS and FL. So, for what it’s worth, in my experience, Dr. May truly is the best!
