I give my opinion because they asked for opinions. Do you honestly
think that you can give a 100% rock solid opinion without seeing
radiographs and the patient in person? If you always take the advice
of random crazies on the internet, you'll have this tooth pulled out!

Well, if I forget to make it clear, I'm sorry.

I feel I have a standing because I pay for usenet access! If Jan can
post and give her opinions, certainly I can. I'll even respond in a
reasonable manner, and admit any errors I have made. I think that you
need both sides to a story. One side (yours) is the dentist
perspective. The other (mine) is the perspective of a patient.

I thought it had already worked. If not, why would anybody be putting
a core build up over it? I see nothing in the original post indicating
the the antibiotics were not effective.
