I have had severe pain in my tooth for the last 2 days. After a visit to the dentist this afternoon i have been advised that the tooth (a molar) has decayed and the root is dead. I also have a cyst growing under the tooth. I have been prescribed antibiotics and advised of an extraction of the tooth but cannot be seen for 2 weeks.

My problem is that i fly from London to Las Vegas on the 31st May and i'm wondering how uncomfortable/painful this will be? Is it even safe to fly?

Any advise/help would be greatly appreciated as i am now getting quite worried.

Thanks!!

The "someone" you are looking for would be a competent dentist.
