  1.  

     I have a Will, typed,signed and witnessed by 2 Thai friends. I have previously read that this format is one of several legally acceptable formats. A lawyer this week told me this would not be acceptable in a thai court because it must be on the stationary of a lawyer to be accepted. Can anyone clarify the legality of a personally typed will kept in my home?

    "Of course to fully spoof firms like Fidelity you need a US phone number preferably matching your address in area code and logging in from the US not abroad."

     

    If you need a US phone number, you can try a service such as Hushed. It currently lets me receive verification SMS from most sites.

     

  3. Dentistry is not an exact science. Every individual and situation is different and you cannot just expect step 1..2..3 to always be the same.  The experience related here is not unusual.

    1.       The decision as to whether the old filling should have been replaced depends upon the amount of remaining tooth structure, the status of the pulp, the allotted time that the dentist has and the patient’s cost preferences. (This may or may not have been clearly discussed before treatment started). The first temporary crown was not a custom-made, perfectly fitted crown and would have been cemented with a temporary type cement to allow removal at the next appointment. It is not unusual for this type crown to be dislodged by dental floss. It was simply placed to try to relieve discomfort and prevent further tooth loss.

    2.       At the second appointment, it may have been planned to complete the crown preparation, but upon removing the temporary crown, the filling also came out. This may or may not have been predictable. If the doctor was concerned about pulp vitality, he likely placed a sedative filling above the nerve and replaced the same or similar temporary crown. 2 weeks evaluation time is not unusual. And by 3D scan, do you mean an xray? An xray cannot determine the status of the pulp.

    3.       The tooth may have still been sensitive due to leaking margins from the temporary crown, but the dentist apparently determined that a root can treatment was not indicated. At this time I would guess that the tooth was prepared for the final crown and an impression was taken. A well-fitting acrylic temporary crown was fabricated directly on the tooth, and this would account for the “pushing and sanding”.  The second person in the room would have been the dental assistant.

    4.       The doctor requested an evaluation in 2 weeks to ensure the pulp was ok (no sensitivity, no root canal required) before asking the lab to prepare the final crown.

    5.       This appointment I presume would be cementation of the final crown, whether the crown is semi-precious alloy, gold or porcelain.   I would not recommend just leaving the temporary crown in place

    6.       I don’t see where a 6th appointment was needed, except a follow-up check.

     

     

  4. I would recommend the OP return to his dentist or possibly seek the services of a prosthodontist if located in a larger city. There can be many causes of sensitivity, starting with something as simple as a leaking temporary crown that could be repaired or recemented with a sedative material. The dentist must determine whether the inflammation is reversible (give it some more time) or irreversible (needs root canal treatment) or even a root fracture( probable extraction). Each case is different and you should not rely on a consensus of a group guessing at the best treatment. I personaly have had crowns placed with and without prior root canal treatment. There is no one best answer.

  5. I have had the same problem in the past. I have had some success in receiving verification codes with a service called GrooveIP. But now I use an app called Tossable Digits. There is a cost, about $3 per month, you get 6 free short-code SMS messages monthly and a minimal fee for additional codes, plus a phone number that can be reliably dialled from the US.

  6. You can post as many negative comments as you like, but world-wide the number of successful root canal treatments far outnumber the problem cases. That being said, proper diagnosis and treatment by a well-trained endodontist will go a long way toward ensuring success.
