I was in the process of getting some Bridge work done. In the midst of it I had to get root canals and a bunch of other stuff that I don't feel that I needed. Right now I have the temp bridge on and its driving me crazy. I was suppose to go to the lab to get fitted for the new bridges but they are calling me for additional crap they say I need.
