Update: Just saw Eugenia Rosenthal DDS today. Very nice lady, follows the removal protocol. It was $160 for a check up with x-rays.

We went over the x-rays and the tooth without the root canal seems to have a cavity under the amalgam, argh. She'll be working on replacing it next week, and hopefully it'll go smoothly. If she finds that the tooth has been too damaged and needs a root canal, argh...

The tooth that has had the root canal done is very interesting. I apparently had a BS dentist last time (unbelievable...). He never completed the root canal, the entire nerve wasn't snipped, only the top. From the x-rays, it looks like there might be an infection (ARGH) under the tooth. Very depressing.

The plan looks like this:
1. Hopefully the tooth without the root canal done is fine and it's a simple replacement ($225). Will be done on the 28th. If the tooth isn't fine, it'll also need to get a root canal. She tested the electricity and decided this tooth should be operated on first.

2. Other tooth, finish the root canal that the incompetent bastard started ($800) and then replace the amalgam ($225)

Obviously, some of you are thinking "WTF? MORE ROOT CANALS?" She was against pulling the tooth and getting something done (bridge?) since it'd be a burden and there's the possibility I'm allergic to the titanium in implants. Apparently, if the tooth gets pulled and nothing replaces it, the other teeth will get distorted.

So give me your thoughts. Good luck, everyone.
