Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
If there is an abscess in the tooth, and if it is not , mobile then you can go for root canal treatment of the tooth no need for extraction, as it can also save the tooth.
But if it is mobile then you have to go for removal of the tooth.
And extraction is not a bad procedure after removal of the tooth you should continue with the medications and everything will be fine.
Hope it will help you.
