I m waiting for extraction and implant, but I had a bad abscess bef, and I don't feel safe waiting. Should I get the extraction done first

Tooth extraction

Yes. Get the source of infection out asap. You don’t want another abscess.

You are absolutely right! I have got that bad tooth out last weekend eventually. I feel it had done the destruction on my health already. I am having heart issues that need to be investigated, but doctors are very dismissive. I fear that the infection traveled to my heart. Thanks for your input.

Dentist will probably want cause of any infection removed before doing extraction.

Just recently 2 friends have had problems with root canal infections & both have had the tooth extracted, given antibiotics & are waiting for implants once they have healed. Root canals are a major cause of many underlying health problems.

I agree , If RC is not carried out correctly it will turn out to be a bacterial plant and destruct your health. It should be done by a professional dentist who has real experience and tools.
