Thanks Mike. My appointment is now set for next Tuesday at 3pm central time. The actual appointment was set up for the purpose of an exam, x-rays, and cleaning. I think I have a cavity in one of my molars too so that'll be a follow up appointment no doubt. I really hope my dentist gives me an ok on this. It's really consuming my thoughts, even thought I'm trying to not let it. I just wanna hear a professional say, "It's nothing to worry about."

Thanks again Mike
