i jsut read your post russ, we must have been writing at the same time. so the anxiety levels and panic feeling perhaps are permanent? i know what you said about body being able to heal. are there more people whos stories are miracles? i read yesterday some peoples stories on here and jsut cried my eyeballs out. it is such an injustice and very sad. my parents were missionaries in brasil, i was born and raised there i got most of my fillings there. i say that to say, i did not get it here in the states if i had i would be having a face to face conversation with that person/....my dentist name in brasil was dr. killingggggggggg.hmmm so appropriate. hey>?
bex and russ, 6 of them are crowns, which i will be glad to do without the crowns. i just want them out. maybe i should just pull them? i am awfully young to have dentures and actually quite vain at that...that might be a bit hard to swallow. but if it will save my life...i guess the dentures would cost a fortune too though and i would rather have my real teeth....doyou think that if i have "pictures" literally, digital photos that a dentist could look at it and give me an estimate like that? i had to pay 275 for my initial visit. that could have gone to a tooth. : (i can't afford all these estimates.
