Yes, I DO very much appreciate you sharing with me. I'm glad your procedure went smoothly and that you are doing ok.
It also helped to 'calm' my nerves when thinking of the implant.

And yes, I'm hoping Bryanna will give some input, especially regarding the body/tooth chart....I am very intrigued with this!
I'll gladly give more details re: the health connection that strikes me so curious.....or is it 'coincident' ........ some people laugh it off as they do those eye (Iridology) charts.

The doctor's office that I was referring to in my first post IS the '2nd opinion'....he basically said "those are the most important molars - referring to my #19 - and we'd want to do everything we can to save it." Also said he'd have no problem in filling the neighboring tooth that is beginning to decay, whereas my 1st opinion dentist just wants to pull #19 because he said it'd be too hard to try and get in between to put filling in where the cavity is on the side of the neighboring tooth.

#19 has been 'in limbo' for the past 8wks with a partial root canal because the endo didn't think the tooth was worth saving.......so I have temporary cement right now. The reason I 'waited' to go any further with this was because of the fact that I've recently had a SCS implant in my spine and was told to wait 8 wks post op to reduce risk of infection.

I'm thinking Bryanna will give me the 'thumbs up' for deciding to just get #19 pulled instead of trying to 'save' the diseased tooth.
That body/tooth chart really did raise my eyebrows.
How much stock do other's put into it?

Thanks for bearing with my ramblings.....
