Does Control Of Abscess Need Removal Of Tooth?

Yes, I went to my dentist back in September for a cleaning, I shared with the dentist it seems my bite is off on the right side, The dentist looked and say no it was on the left side, teeth number 30, never had any problems with this teeth, just got a new crown on it 2010. After doing some drilling, it make it worst, so I came back and they smooth out again, got little better, but still hurting. You stated that I need a root canal. I went to the doctor, he stated yeah, took at least 10 x-rays, you started the root canal and then stop, and says you can't get to the canal, and recommend a oral surgery. Went to a oral surgery and he stated that my tooth was crack, and that why I need to get out. I kept getting abscess. Today, I got my tooth out and it appears to fine. I feel that I got a misdiagnose and my tooth is gone. My question does an abscess require you to lose your took>

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Actually sometimes it causes loosening of teeth when the abscess is severe or you can say if has spread to the tooth supporting structures also.
So nothing to worry if it is fine now then wait till the socket heals and after that get an artificial tooth placed in the place of it.
Hope it will help you.
