Looking forward to seeing the art, but be careful about pulling the tooth yourself because it's likely to break and leave the root inside, then you got problems.
I know this because my sister used to be petrified of the dentist, in the end it was worse for her, because they had to drill to get the root out.

Surely it doesn't cost that much to get a tooth pulled in the USA, aren't you supposed to be all super-advanced and stuff?
Anyway, it's getting OT again, just be aware of the risks in pulling it yourself, that's all I'm saying :-)
