Of course. !!: Well.. My friend... Looks like that you know the answer to your question... .. Knowing and experiencing what happened last time, it makes no sense to wait for another nasty infection to spread in your system. See a dentist and follow through with the recommendations. Seek 2nd opinion if you were in doubt. Good luck.

Extract: I suggest you get to an oral surgeon a.S.A.P. The sooner your infected tooth is removed the better.
