Tools are generally a good idea when trying to do dentistry...

Thanks for that. A real help. I'm sure you'll get similar help one day and think
of this.

I am not a dentist however, dealing with dental issues for sometime I
think it makes sense to see an oral surgeon. In fact it seems like many
dentists will refer to an oral surgeon right from the start for an
extraction. Ask your dentist to refer you an OS immediately and I
would guess (though again
I am not a dentist) if the oral surgeron feels there is a severe
infection he will
recommend further referral to a hospital setting, otherwise he (or she)
will
complete the extraction themselves! All they do at a hospital anyway is
have you attended to by the staff OS.
