I* am one who followed Bryannas advice. I had three teeth removed this year, rather than taking a chance on "retaining" the teeth. I also still have one root cannal tooth in my lower Jaw. At some point, that one is coming out as well. I have auto immune problems, and I don't want any of the infections that go along with infected teeth. I had no trouble with the extractions and did go to a specialist to have them removed, an oral surgeon. I am glad to hear you are going on Monday. I wish you all the best. ginnie
