Hi Bryanna,

Thanks again for your replies -- and for all the wisdom you so generously share here. No, the dentist explained next to nothing, certainly not what you explained. Actually, he spent more time explaining the dangers of Clindamycin than about the root canal procedure and possible complications.

We're looking at the IAOMT list now, plus we have the name of an oral surgeon recommended by my mom's internist. The internist called this morning because he said recent blood work indicates my mom has a severe vitamin D deficiency that requires a prescription for a few months.

In your opinion, do we call a few people for consultations? That seems reasonable because of the circumstances. Yet we realize there's a need for urgency. Also, will an oral surgeon want the endo's x-rays?

Thanks again.
Dana
