The tooth is still with me

Dentist wouldn't pull my tooth. I was diagnosed with a heart murmur when I was a kid, so he wants me to take Penicillin before he pulls the tooth. Sent me home with a prescription for Penicillin and Vicodin. I'm rescheduled for next tuesday, but I'm considering root canal instead. He says the tooth is worth saving.
