They did end up extracting it yesterday. I feel so much better. It's only a bit achy where it was, no more sharp pain at all. I have a couple of stitches and they had to cut it to get it out.
I've never had the dentist give me laughing gas before. That is a weird feeling, and I didn't even feel them IV me. I remember them talking, and then waking up and the nurse saying I could go home. I wasn't really keen on being put under for it but the surgeon said it was bad and something I needed to be out for.
The good news is, that's it. The other dentist said I would need an implant to keep my bottom molar from getting out of whack, but the surgeon said my jaw is so small that the tooth in front of the one they pulled still hits the bottom molar and it would be completely unnecessary to do an implant.
Tonsils are still coming out on Monday. The ENT said it was fine to have the tooth out first and probably better so it wouldn't break off during the tonsil ordeal. I can't believe how much better I feel than I did yesterday morning, it's almost instant relief.

and extra
for not needing the implant. Those are some big bucks you wouldn't want to spent.

No kidding, those are big money. I didn't want to do a root canal and crown on it, partially due to how much it costs and the other part being I thought it was a bit too far gone. The surgeon said a crown wouldn't have held I didn't have enough tooth left on the one side, and it would have been pulled anyway. This surgeon does implants, so I will take their word for it when they say I don't need one.
Thank God for dental insurance, it didn't cost anywhere near what I thought it was going to. Less than $200 all said and done.

A bad tooth makes your entire body sick, getting that tooth out was a blessing. Glad you are better, not charge ahead for the tonsils!
Glad all went well and you're done with that issue... Now on to the next. that operation goes as well as this one went.
