I'm heading to the dentist later today, and am interested to see what he has to say. I don't mind getting the tooth extracted, it's just frustrating after paying for 2 root canals now.

I just have one more question though, around the same time my infection started to hurt I noticed a lot of blood in my nose when I blow it. It never bleeds like a nosebleed, but there's always dried blood in there. Could that be related?
