I never want another root canal either. That's why I need these 2 teeth to be prepped without "going too far".

I've become quite suspicious of dentists in general in the last 6 years because of bad experiences, including endodontists.

My current dentist is a very religious woman, even has Christian music playing throughout the office. I like her and she has done good work, except one time, when she gave me an inlay instead of a whole crown. It came off, about a year and a half later, and had to be replaced. She made good on that.

I'll see how she reacts Wednesday when I go in for the permanent crown, and I bring up the mercury removal protocol and tell her how I feel about getting anymore root canals!
