Thanks, guys. It isn't hurting yet. I did try to get it pulled last week, but the wait at the clinic was so long, my RSD pain just got overwhelming, and I had to leave.

A friend of the family gave me the name of a private dentist who might be willing to help, for not too much more money. I'll call Monday and see if he can. He can do simple extractions, but not surgical ones, whatever that means. Does having it broken off at the gum line mean is is a surgical extraction?
