Just clicked on the websites recommended by Bex--thanks!

Still confused though. it seems like you guys are suggesting I consider getting my existing root canal re-root-canaled as it were--is that right? (rather than having it pulled).

However, if Dr Garcia (my dentist) does do the "ocalexic root canal treatment" I imagine she would have discussed this with me. And she's one of the best (and one of very few) mercury-aware dentists available to me. I can't realistically travel further away to get the "ocalexic root canal treatment"...


But I also still don't understand about the increased likelihood of future problems with bridgework, and would really appreciate any data/info you guys have on that.

It's all new stuff to me. For some reason, I've always had trouble understanding even the basics of dentistry; now of course, with my health at stake I am on a crash course.

Again, many thanks!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
