Thanks for the follow up Sol. This is an amazing story! 

I have been using CS DMSO to avoid a root canal on a tooth. I told my
dentist. And I asked him if he could tell the nerve was dead. I thought
this was the reason he advised a root canal. He said no he can not tell
that, the tooth has other roots with other nerves. He said you just can
not clear up an abcess around a root so pulling or root canal are the
only options. I think I have him rethinking this position now. 

So far I treat twice a week when I am good, and maybe once every other
when I get busy. IF I manage to get a hold of some no odor DMSO I will
treat every day -- it is only the odor issue that is holding me back, it
bothers my husband so much.

Will report my results as I progress, so far I have bought myself at the
last 12 months with this treatment. Also drink CS every day of course,
but this is not enough.
