Hi Judy
Really pleased you got good news and didn't have to wait too long - you must be relieved. However do you think it at all likely that something was completely wrong in how the x-ray was taken and that there never was any shadow? Wondering if you are getting a bad deal (unnecessary worry/root canals unnecessarily) owing to your dentist's relative lack of experience maybe.
If you are still in pain, which I guess you must be, what do you make of the explanation and what are you supposed to do about it? Are your root canalled teeth completely settled and painfree? Also ask your dentist about doing an onlay (half crown) rather than a full crown as it removes far less tooth structure and seems to be the preferred option now and what dentists would do on their own teeth - can be in gold too but ceramic also available. (NB if it's previously had a full crown, then only another full crown can be done).
Hope it works out for you and soon.
