Hi Bryanna

Thanks for your reply. I should have said that when I first went to the dentist she took an xray of the tooth and the xray showed that I had a very deep cavity. She then filled in the cavity with the hope of saving the tooth. When I returned to the dentist about a week later, the headache had not gone away and the tooth still hurt. She then suggested a root canal or an extraction. I opted for the extraction, as the tooth is sort of at the back and wouldnt be missed if it was gone. She then took another xray of the tooth, focusing on where the roots were located and what they looked liked. The results of that xray, as stated in my previous post, were that the roots were hooked into the sinus. She consulted every other dentist in the clinic and they all agreed that it should be removed by a dental surgeon..

I havnt seen the dental surgeon yet, my consult with him is 3weeks away as he only comes to this area about once a month. When I returned the missed phone I had from his clinic he wasnt there and the secretary just told me the messags he left for me..that he wanted to take out all my wisdom teeth as well. The reason why is on my list of questions for him when I see him. I think its because they are pushing all my teeth forward and overcrowding them.

Another question I have is, about a year ago I had the tooth infront of one of my wisdom teeth removed and the dentist said that I wouldnt need to have that wisdom tooth removed because ot would take up the place the tooth infront had taken....if that makes sense... Is that possible?

Thanks
