Strongly second this. If you go in, be adamant that you want a full extraction. It's much cheaper than any alternative, and not terribly complicated. It should keep the problem from reoccurring. Before we met, my wife had a number of teeth pulled this way, and it was significantly cheaper than other alternatives. If they try to talk you into saving the tooth, just insist that they pull it.
