Glad you found a better option. Teeth are expensive. Hope your root canal goes as easy as mine did. I slept through mine. I knew I was good to relax when the tip of my nose was numb. I had worked the night before and had the first appointment of the day. They covered me with a warm fuzzy blanket and I was out like a light. Good thing that I had that mouth opener thingie in my mouth because I could have never kept my mouth open..
Good luck to you on Monday!

Your quit is going to be so beneficial to you when you are recovering!
I actually just got back from getting a CT scan to check for bone to attach implants to - I lost the top front four a few years ago and have been dealing with wearing a flipper since. That dentist said I would need the bottom four pulled as well but my current dentist is seemingly sure they can be saved.
I think it was very smart of you to talk to another doctor and it looks like you're going to have a great result (my real teeth were never this straight 
.)
Please, keep us posted on the progress!
