(I guess he didn't get all the root out the first time?) <br /><br />I really liked this guy - I'm normally terrified of dentists and this guy went out of his way to make me comfortable - plus he's a real cutey, but I can't go back now.Leah Braemelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05926632511671914080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28243793.post-80284488461733509252009-09-23T14:26:11.951-04:002009-09-23T14:26:11.951-04:00Hey Leah -- so what prompted the change for you?
...Hey Leah -- so what prompted the change for you? <br />And I had no idea that the white ones were problematic. <br />Re Root Canals - I fear them like a kid fears the boogey man. Don't know why,... I've never had one (yet) but they are what my nightmares are made of.Wylie Kinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09271148590574475682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28243793.post-57495720216698748172009-09-23T14:18:17.053-04:002009-09-23T14:18:17.053-04:00My dentist is in the process of changing my amalga...My dentist is in the process of changing my amalgam fillings over to the white type. I haven't had so many problems as I have since he started doing that. Oy, I could go on a big long rant about this one ... apparently it takes a lot of skill to create the non-amalgam fillings and if they don't get it right, it hurts like hell. (And then they suggest a root canal for $1000 when it's their filling that's the problem) Akk, enough already, Leah! <br /><br />Yes, we used to play "chase the mercury" too.Leah Braemelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05926632511671914080noreply@blogger.com
