Diane/Re: update on appt. today...

[Guest guest]

Hi Diane,

I have had 10 root canals in the past 6 years and they really did not

hurt bad at all. Actually my endodontist and I became really good

friends and we chat back and forth to each other weekly. He recently

retired to San , Texas, so it is going to feel strange having

someone new performing a root canal on me.

Those crowned teeth can surely be a challenge for the OD. My upper

crown is going to be my OD final challenge to move it exactly to

where it needs to be. Right now the crown is a little slanted and

needs to be straightened. The lower crown also gave him problems at

the beginning of my ortho treatment because the brackets just didn't

want to stick to it. He finally gave up and put a band around the

tooth which solved the problem. I have 7 crowns that will have to be

put on once the braces come off. My dentist wanted to of course hold

off on putting the crowns on because of the difficulty my OD would of

had in getting all those crowned teeth to move.

Anyway, I will keep my fingers crossed that everything will get

better for you! Thanks for being a venting partner!!
