on it.  Where the onlay or crown connects with the real tooth there is
a ledge and if I probe there it is painful.  I have complained about
this for years everytime my teeth were cleaned and was told it was just

Back in mid-May you gave me some useful advice when I was uncertain
whether to have local or general anesthetic for a wisdom tooth
extraction. Yesterday I had the extraction, and based largely on your
comments I chose local.  I was glad I took your advice. The specialist,

Sorry I wasted my time on a serious issue regarding my dental health
problems. It seems  people can utilize these sites for just about
anything. I.E. solicitations,  which struck me as bogus. These sites
should be reserved for serious issues, not scams. I guess my serious

         My dentist told me yesterday that I need two new crowns.  I
had never gone through this before and didn't realize that 2 visits
