If you do find one and get in for an appt
- if at anytime you feel they aren't the right one for you do speak up and make an excuse and leave.

also when you call ask if Dc does other protocols or therapies for pain relief as opposed to "only" adjustments..

To me it sounds like you may also need some ultrasound, low level laser, or electric IF type stimulation {like a TENs only works deeper and on the muscles}, maybe some hands on tissue release or even trigger point therapy.
My dc uses many of those and does the c1/c2 when needed.

but I'm just thinking that due to the fall was a yr ago & you were pretty much ok til the dental work - so that's the info i'm going by
