Well, Dr. Bornfeld, you bet that it was a periodontal problem and you
were right. I just came back from having gum flap surgery and there was
no crack in the root. The periodontist did guided tissue regeneration
(Guidor) because he said there was not enough bone around the tooth. He
said we have to wait and see what happens. I'm glad I don't have to have
it extracted so am going to try to not worry about what happens down the
road. Thanks again to you and newbie for your wisdom and reassurance. It
means so much to us to have another opinion when we're nervous.
