If you have any doubt that the tooth should be pulled, seek another opinion about it. However if it does have to come out, don't be too upset with the "what if's" chances are you will heal just fine. I had two upper molars pulled three weeks ago, and did not experience any bad things. I am healing nicely, no big hole anymore, no infection or problem. I hated to go through it, but I just don't like dentists much. I also grieved a bit at the loss of those two teeth. I hope it goes OK for you. Ginnie
