Sorry to hear of this, Aussie. Sure seems like everyone is having an abundance of problems over and above the PN right now. Sounds like this is very painful.

My ear doc thinks I have TMJ, despite the fact I tried to tell him my EAR was hurting, when I saw him... My dentist says "NOT" and suggested doing a panoramic X-Ray, whatever that is... Whatever it is is probably expensive... He is lovely, but has an airplane to keep up...

Why is dentistry so expensive in Australia? It is not exactly cheap here though either, I guess... I think that mouth device is about $700 US.
