Hi Pam,

Wishing you luck, sounds like we are kindred spirits, I'm amazed at the lengths
some dentists go to save teeth, how do people do it?  Good luck!

I am new here but have been reading for a couple of weeks. I also
have an

appt tomorrow for a consultation. Took me many years to get up the nerve

know if any are salvageable, but I have been fed up with having teeth fixed

only to have them fall apart even more. I am nervous too but also hopeful

for it all to go well.
