Find me a dentist! Dentists?

I don’t think you play any role in the state of your root canaled tooth. This boils down to the ability and the judgement of the dentist about your tooth. Some will charge you for not having a clue? The last root canal I had the dentist straight away capped and quote: it’s not going to explode.

Yeah, they all said "this could last 10 years or it could fail and need extraction tomorrow".

So, it's definitely a gamble, but I've got the cash so I figured leaving it in for as long as possible is the best option. If I was on a budget and they gave me the same options, I would've had it pulled out on the first visit.

Actually, in hindsight, I probably should've just done that anyway, given the pain and drama I've had.

Check whether the dentist rides Sram or Campagnolo before having the tooth pulled.

Dentists don't ride bikes do they? Surely too busy driving their McLarens to their yacht clubs.

Having some wisdom tooth troubles as my last remaining one got an infection and made me extremely unwell last week. I saw the emergency dentist because my usual one cancelled my original appointment and got some antibiotics, and went to see the usual one yesterday.
I previously used to go to a surgery near my old job who had looked at my wisdom teeth before and took one out, but declined to touch this remaining one after checking a CT because it was too close to the nerve and said I would have to have it done under general at the Eastman if it caused problems. My current dentist is like 'oh no we have a specialist' and want to potentially do it themselves and charge me god knows how much, and mentioned just cutting out half the tooth. Fuck that. They did another CT and their specialist is going to call me next week to discuss pricing. Is it worth going back to the old place since I still seem to be on their books (they messaged me the other day saying I'm overdue for a check) and having them do a hospital referral since they already said they weren't confident it could be done at their surgery?
