They cant redo any of my awfull new end to end crowns until the move

things and stop them from bangin...once that happens they can do

things the way they should have been done in the first place...until

then its the splint.....

I really liked the the surgeon and had faith in him even going into

it the 2nd time, Now I just dont know ,...what if it springs back a

3rd time, I am a wee bit freaked out by how things are going, I just

don't know....there has to be an explanation!!?

Thanx much for all your wisdom

take care
