I'm so sorry you are having so much trouble with your teeth, Billi! I cannot imagine a dentist not wanting to help, just because you had work with an endo. I wish you were around here and I could send you to mine; my dentist (a woman, loved her!) actually became an endo; I had the opposite problem, when she was my dentist she'd "start" the root canal and then tell me I had to go get one after the fact
