Can antibiotics heal an abscessed tooth enough that a root canal is unnecessary?
Most likely not, as the problem with abscessed teeth is that the tooth is damaged and allowing bacteria into the pulp and root cavity. While antibiotics may clear up the infection for now, they will not prevent another infection after you are off of the antibiotics. Nor will they prevent the tooth from becoming more damaged. Unfortunately, the only cure for a bad tooth is a visit to the dentist or oral surgeon's chair.

YES! In fact getting the offending tooth out of your mouth will result in the infection going away faster.

These should be treated with antibiotics first to avoid spreading the infection into the neck.
Should an abscessed tooth be removed or treated if there is no pain but the X-rays show the tooth to be abscessed?
Yes, you should have an abscessed tooth either removed (or a root canal) done. It depends on what the dentist says. First, the dentist will put you on antibiotics to be sure the abscess is cleared up and then do the procedure. Most dentists prefer to save your teeth if at all possible so discuss the root canal as an option.
