@Fuzzy- I wish you smooth sailing with your dental adventures. I'm sorry that you have been under so much pressure. You've been so supportive of me and I appreciate it.
Thanks swimmingly

I did wonder about having a root canal, and that it might not take. That was about 2 years ago. The original dentist my usual dentist referred me to said he had an 85 percent success rate (?).. he was very nice. He seemed a bit nervous because of all my allergies (and I was also on seroquel then but I dont think that was the issue) He was very respectful and listened. I do notice when professionals are respectful and listen. (I also notice when they are callous, inaccurate and mean )

That dentist I was referred to wasn't a ''specialist'' in root canals but did a lot of them as he enjoyed doing them. He told me about another practice where they were ''specialists''... it would have been 5 visits overall I think ... yikes. Even on seroquel that was and even then there was no guarantee. Grrrr. I wish I was really a bear and only had to see a vet, then they would put me to sleep for any ''procedure''.. they would have to
