Thanks so much for the info! I should have been clearer, I certainly don't plan on getting a root canal. My dentist wants me to go to a endodonist for a second opinion and so tha I can really be educated before I decide on not getting a root canal...supposedly she's the best around and uses material and a procedure that eliminates all bacteria (lol). I don't understand how OP can eliminate all bacteria in a deep cavity though. I guess that's what scares me, I don't want to mess around with it, ya know:)
Thanks again~
