Lani,
Isn't it amazing how the dilation helps. I pray that whatever else is wrong can be taken care of as well and that you soon have good health and peace of mind. Uncertainty can be as disabling as physical pain. If you haven't heard from the cariologist, call him in the morning.
RE: the primary dr. I have all doctors I see send reports to my primary so that he has a comprehensive record. The internist I went to before Katrina was so through that when I told him I was going to have catarct surgery, he wanted to know which eye they were doing first.
