snowclover,

I didn't take anything that you wrote to me as offensive in any way. Because I cannot communicate on anyone elses behalf, I try to provide enough information for someone to act as their own advocate. Your dental situation is not uncommon to anyone in the dental profession and each time I see this happen I feel badly because someone (respectfully) puts more trust in their dentist than they do their own instinct.

How are you today? Do feel things are staying status quo or improving?
