I'm glad that you are better now. 5 root canals can't have been good! I have one and I think that's caused me some problems.

No one mentioned drilling bone to me, just cleaning out the socket. Maybe that is a different thing? There's no way I can cope with them drilling the bone. If that is what they want to do, I'm afraid I will just be having the tooth out and leave the infection there. It will be either that or getting nothing done. I just can't cope with the drilling the bone. That is too much for me. I can just about handle getting the tooth extracted, and that is traumatic enough for me.
