Thanks for all of the responses. I did get in to see my dentist today. He took an x-ray and believes that it will need a root canal. He has referred me to a specialist for further eval. The problem is that I still can not open my mouth very well and he is not sure if they will be able to do the root canal. This is the same reason that I don't have flouride trays. Has anybody had dental work when still not able to open your mouth? I still use the therabite but I don't know that I am making any progress.
