Q. Last June, 2009, I had surgery on #12 and 13 since the root canals on those teeth were unsuccessful. I have had severe infection also so bad in fact that it had deformed my face at that time. I was in severe pain. I got a new x-ray that says i have infection at the top of both of those teeth. i am fed up with this dentist. i do not want to go back to him. what is my next step?,
