Can I have my tooth extracted if I have an absess below tooth. One dentist says ok another says the infection would have to clear first or could be dangerous to remove. Any advice please?

I had a friend with a similar problem and his dentist told him he had to wait until the infection was gone because it is very dangerous to operate on an absess tooth. It may be painful now but eventually it will be over and if you risk it and do the operation too soon it could result in worse pain than before. My friends dentist told him removing an absess tooth can actually kill you from infection and whatever else.

Submandibular absess can be cause by Salmonella. Salmonella species represent uncommon causative agents in focal infections of the head and neck.

They can also be caused by a deep tooth absess running down through the mandibal, earning it the name, "sub-mandibular".
