I also have had to get some dental work done that I have put off while I was still drinking. Just went this afternoon in fact! I REALLY don't like the dentist. Having to pay for it sucks too!
The thought of going to the dentist is scary for me. One look at my teeth, the ones I still have, and dentists ask me "ever done any drugs?" I'll probably have false teeth sooner or later. Now that's scary. I'm not a dentist so I don't really know what the best plan of action is. I just know I'm going to be on a long term payment plan with the dentist, even with insurance.
The way I see it, is "the roots go down into the back and cause all the back pain" eh? and if they grow long enough can be a real pain in the butt..eh?
I know....Who asked me....hahahaha
You guys have a good day....

Hi. ...."It didn't come to stay, it came to pass!"...I don't know who to attribute that expression to, but I have it in my noggin'. Feel better soon. :) Paul
(((((((((((Toni)))))))))))))), I do hope your back feels better soon. I too hate dentist,but made myself go a couple years back to get things done. It took tons of shots to numb me,guess I was ammune to the stuff from all my drinking LOL. I was afraid that the stuff would speed up my heart and I'd get a heart attack. I was not afraid of the pain,just that. I was being silly,but that's what us alcoholics do best if project. Now looking back, it was the shots that hurt the most,the rest is just tugging and drilling. Good luck and again feel better soon.
