Thanks everyone!

My company's medical and dental plans are rather generous. I am very very very very very fortunate. I am also lucky to live in an area where I have had no issues with network coverages, etc. I wish my mom was as fortunate as she has no medical insurance except for the care she receives from the Veteran's Administration (and I am thankful she has that as the VA took such good care of her through her Renal Cell Carcinoma 4 years ago).

I am actually pretty calm now-- considering what everyone had posted and what my dentist felt-- I feel like things are somewhat in my "control" right now and that there will soon be no unknowns. Control being that I have taken the steps to meet up with the oral surgeon etc.
