I am certainly glad I found this site.
Bryanna, I've been reading many posts and your responses seem right on to me. I'm hoping you can help me.

I have infections in tooth #3 and an abscess, infection, in tooth 31. Both of them have had a root canal. I have an app. with an endodontist on July 11th to extract tooth 31 and to retreat tooth 3.

After reading some posts here, I'm not feeling too confident about the retreat in tooth 3. In fact, I was leaning towards extraction of it before talking to the endodontist. He is a different one than who did the original root canals.

The infection in number 3 has been giving me sinus pain by my nose, cheek and right eye. I have to get a crown on my back tooth, right by it, and after getting the temp, this pain was pronounced.

I also now believe that an oral surgeon should do both extractions, but this endodontist was very nice in offering to do the #31 extraction. Do you think I should get an opinion from an oral surgeon or perhaps see if this endo would do both extractions?

I really want someone you knows a lot about sinus issues with extractions, since #3 is already causing problems in this area.

I do believe my overall health would improve after these infections are gone, as I have MS and infections make that condition worse.

Thank you for any advice you can give me.
