Hang in there Sadie, wait for Bryanna to respond to you. You can also try to PM. her. You do have some real concerns and valid points. she can best direct you in this. Dentists in general like to "retain" a tooth, even if it is infected. Bryanna knows your history. She will be along. I know you are feeling like Dorthy in OZ, it is confusing for me too. I know how anxiety can work a person over. ginnie
