Hi there.
I guess Alan got a great dentist, because absolutely everything YOU said, HE said!!! Alan will be going to an oral surgeon (the one everyone goes to around here and Alan's been there before also). We have to wait two weeks for the authorization to go through. The dentist said 'There is no infection, he is not in any pain so it's not an emergency, I'm putting the recommendation that he be seen by the oral surgeon and this usually takes up to two weeks. You will be notified by your insurance and we will also call you to tell you when to go"
So there you have it. And Alan doesn't go for "being put out'. He has no phobias whatsoever. He was in the dental unit when he was in the army and pulled everyone's teeth. I got the willies just hearing him talk about it. So that is THAT.
I thank you so much. You certainly know your stuff.
lol
