Thanks for you post Karen, yes i am in two minds about having the second opinion done in the same office, but it was offered and is free, so we shall take that one, i still will consider a third opinion depending on what she has to say of course,this time i will be with her too, last time she went alone,so i can get the full story straight from her person to person not via phone, a conversation which was a tad hard as the dentist does not speak fluent english,however cushla does, so should be easier,wish us luck on friday,hoping for a different result,no she does not have her wisdom yet, but her teeth seem quite crowded,so yes i am wondering too all about that, i am pretty determined this root canal is NOT to go ahead, they will have to do some pretty good convincing to get me to agree i can assure you, obviously if it is the best thing for her,then i will agree, but not without lots of questions first.
