So I went to the dentist today to see if they could do anything about my front tooth that was nearly gone, and I told them to go ahead and pull it, which they did. Now I have to avoid hot drinks and carbonated drinks for 24 hours, otherwise it could dislodge the blood clot that formed where my tooth was and cause dry socket, which means it could become infected. I can't wait until I'm able to either get a partial put in or get a silver or gold tooth made to fit the cavity. Luckily, the whole tooth came out in one piece, so I won't require any surgery to remove stray pieces left behind. But still, it still hurts where they stuck me in the gums with a needle to numb the area.
