Sorry to read about what you experienced Linda I hope all is well in your world by now. I thought I should add my own experience which was probably nothing in comparison but relates to the use of omega 3s. Long story made short it was a fractured infected root canal causing me anxiety issues I had it pulled and was clear the next day. For many months flaxseed oil seemed to hide the only symptoms the dentist looks for when I stopped for a few weeks it blew up like a balloon and I had it pulled. Fish oil is a stronger immunosupresser it allowed the infection to spread even more with no obvious signs of a problem at the tooth location. However anxiety got much worse after I tried fish oil and I developed vision trouble in the eye above the tooth. Omega 3s suppress the immune system and the dentist dosn't ask how your mood is... calmness is a gift enjoy it:)
