....and, i think somebody should be willing to do the bonding, which is what the thing i'm looking for is called.

while this guy's analysis is probably right, and useful to me, i'm not sure why he would refuse to paint over them. i mean, i'm not going to argue with him. but, i think i'm going to need to find a dentist #5 that is willing to do a bonding. i may be back to finances - it may be the case that he was at least honest with me, but isn't willing to do work at a lower pay grade.

i'm making progress...

there are places that explicitly advertise "deep cleaning". i should give one of them a call tomorrow.
