Medical hardware removal...?

[jessmarimba]

A dental checkup does not involve needles, and with a good hygienist it doesn't hurt much at all. Not going to the dentist for several years means it's only a matter of time before they have to do painful expensive things to fix your teeth and gums.

I think a second opinion, or even a third, would be very helpful for your back.

The checkup doesn't, but they'll make sure I pay them to re-drill and re-fill all of the unnecessary metal they've already put in my mouth. Thanks but no thanks. (Though I'll take suggestions from anyone in Denver for a good, medically conservative dentist. All I've heard from anyone here is who NOT to go to).

Thanks, soprano. Chatted with my pilates teacher yesterday and she suggested a practice with a neurosurgeon I'm thinking of visiting.
