It : It sounds like you already have a plan of action regarding the decision to have your on-going dental symptoms addressed. Since the funding for this may be pending on the review of your complaint; i suggest that you may wish to pose this same question on avvo's legal site. That way a lawyer may be able to provide you with feedback that will assist. Good luck.

Ask for a Referral: Ask your dentist to refer you to an endodontist, or look for an endodontist in your area. They will take a radiograph (xray) and get a history from you and tell you if there is a problem that can be fixed.
