I have two problem teeth (one either side of the upper front two) that have been root canal filled but routinely abcess (once/twice every year). Each time I get on a course of antibiotics to clear up the infection but suffer pain for several days before the abcess clears. My dentist has rec ommended extraction but I dont really want dentures and cant have a bridge as I already have one for the front two teeth and cant extend anymore. My questions are: (a) will extraction definitely eliminate the abcess? (b) can I still have abcsesses even after an implant? I have been suffering abcesses for several years and now want a long term solution that doesn’t involve dentures!
