HI BOB,
Sorry to hear of your pain. I just met a vet last night at a Festival who I was 
telling about my dog's lupus recovery.  She told me she used to be in so much 
pain in her back, I believe. She did acupuncture once, healed, and hooked.  She 
went on to help dogs using acupuncture.  If you haven't tried, like anything 
else in life--there are always good and bad practitioners.

I am running against options for my teeth. I have SEVERAL crowns which never 
were a problem, but never wanted either. Weighed all options before a yes.

Now I have big spaces obvious for pictures and crowns were put in about 3 years 
ago and some keep falling out.  If dentist can't reglue I am running against 
options.  I know having more front spaces is not very inviting as I plan to go 
out and meet people for business sake.

carol,
 
     There are no safe  implants.  ALL dental procedures have risks... BIG 
ONES.  Every time  you get an anesthetic injection you are risking a permanent  
paresthesia/dysesthesia (nerve damage to the lingual or IAN nerve) that is  
horrific... I suffer from lingual nerve damage so I know.  The rest of my  life 
is one of pain and suffering... burning pain to be exact.  Not  something you 
want if at all possible.  

 
Bob
