When my tooth started aching several months ago, my regular dentist advised me that I needed a root canal. I don’t see how that solves my problem as it will still leave infection in my body. So I decided to find a holistic dentist and get some other options. He wants to pull my tooth […]
Playing the “match” game with emergency dentist
It’s just my luck that I would get a terrible toothache while my dentist was on vacation. Since I had no other options, I looked up an emergency dentist and they were able to squeeze me in. The overall experience was good – the staff and doctor were great and they took good care of […]
Could the holistic dentist have saved my tooth?

Can’t afford an emergency dentist – how can I remedy my sinus/tooth issue at home?
