Will Extracting The Dead Abscessed Tooth And Taking Antibiotics Cure The Infection In The Jaw Bone Too?
2 Answers
I have a dead tooth and can't afford the root canal. I have opted to have it extracted. I'm on antibiotics for the next week before the extraction. Once the tooth is out will the infection be gone for good and will the jaw bone heal ?

A small chance that the infection may become chronic ( long standing) is a possibility ( osteomyelitis) but that is uncommon today.
