Getting the tooth pulled is cheap - you can get the other work done later. The main thing is to do it soon.

I've had every type of dental problem there is - and some that many dentists had never even seen before. This was mostly due to Celiac disease, which I was only diagnosed with last year, but had my entire life.

Getting it pulled out is not a big deal - you can't take aspirin for a few days, so they'll probably give you a Rx for tylenol with codeine.

In my case a nerve died once - I drank a pint of Jack Daniels and didn't even feel it. When the nerve dies, heat hurts like hell - before that, cold hurts bad.
