Hey uwfishgirl… I have had a number of root canals and don’t think that I would plan on fishing afterward!

I would also be very careful of going to The Great White North for dental work (or Mexico for that matter)… We had a family member pass away this past year, that died from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (“CJD”) which is related to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (“BSE”) or “Mad Cow Disease. This is a very rare thing but so far science hasn’t been able to really nail down “what, where or why” for this disease. But the hospital and funeral staff used extreme care and there were special conditions for burial because of the disease.

Now, the reason for the above story… the hospital staff had to ask a bunch of question… but the ones that interested the family was because they repeatedly ask about dental work either in Mexico or Canada. So we finally pushed as to why this was so important. They said that both countries had a higher than normal rate of mad-cow and CJD… so be careful up North!!!! Cheaper may cost you in the long run!!!

Good Luck
