My husband wants me to keep it for sentimental attachment. I want to sell her to contribute to the extensive dental work I need. But he says I could get $200 for it (max) and that doesn't really scratch the surface of the bill we are facing. So I am still on the fence.

I say keep her for now. You're in serious pain (hugs, by the way - no real advice to offer), and perhaps not in the best frame of mind to make a decision. You can always sell her later if you decide you're sure, but you can't get her back if you wish you hadn't sold her...

Sell it!!!
Make that down payment. Your health is not worth the sentimental value.
That goes for financial health too.
Left untreated, this dental issue could become a serious medical issue.
Sorry to be such a killjoy, but you have many more good reasons to sell than the one mediocre reason to keep.

I wish I had kept my last road bike. I was going to turn it into a cold weather bike, with fenders, wider tires, etc. Instead, I traded it in on my Kuota, and since I got a good price ($1,000), I didn't complain then. But, I think I would have been better off using this as an around town bike, instead of my Jamis, which is heavy and has flat bars. Don't get me wrong, I love my Jamis, because it is used for "fun" riding, but if I had to do it again, I would have bought more of a touring type of bike for a second bike.
