carol,
LOL. I happen to be an acupuncturist, licensed with 34 years experience.
Permanent nerve damage is just that... permanent. Acupuncture has given me
some relief.... but it is limited as to what it can do because the nerves are
dead. The body must be in tact for acupuncture to work properly.

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.

Hi all,
Maybe off topic...who knows. History of bad teeth, several crowns got
loose and today another one popped out into mouth and holding it. If he can't
put this back in as it is always a challenge, here's questions:
Kind of "safe" implants
Questions to ask dentist
What materials are good vs. bad for implants?
This is ongoing problem-genetic vs. unhealthy eating.
Frustrating as my dentist doesn't want to act like a traveling "dentist."
Just when I think all is cool and I won't see him for a while I am back.
