Hi. My dentist did a root canal on a top-right molar about 4 months ago, and I think it is infected again. It might seem crazy that I may have a root canal emergency and I am trying to get help by writing you. However, I do not trust my dentist and am afraid of

My dentist wants to remove my implants and replace them with a bridge. He placed the implants although he saw during surgery that I didn’t have enough bone for the implants.
