Hi Kim,
Your tooth sounds like it is pretty sick and it may not be a good idea to put this off because the decay can actually spread through the tooth up into the root and beyond. The roots of tooth #14 could be located near the sinuses.... a dental xray will be able to answer that question. However, not all of these first molars have roots near the sinus, so maybe yours is one that isn't!
Do you have an appointment to have it removed?
