CRPS and tooth extraction

My dentist sent me to an Endodontics he trusts. After an examination he explained why a tooth extraction was necessary. I told him about my history of CRPS and my deep concern about having it be in my mouth and jaw. He had not heard of CRPS. I did not make an appointment at the time. I understand the need for removing the tooth to protect my other teeth. They suggested that after the bone grows back I would be able to have an implant.
I continue to experience pain in my left wrist from a fracture four months ago. My right hand had CRPS after an elbow surgery eleven years ago. So you can see my concern.
I will be seeing my doctor at the University of Utah Pain Clinic in a week. I began going there when I develop CRPS in another place. I have had numerous ganglion blocks. My right hand did go into remission after a year.
