An abscessed tooth typically appears swollen and may have redness around the gum line. The affected area may exhibit a noticeable bump or pus-filled pocket, and the tooth itself might appear discolored or darkened. Patients often experience pain, sensitivity, or swelling in the surrounding gums, and there may be a foul taste or odor if pus drains from the abscess. Overall, the tooth's appearance can vary, but these signs indicate infection and require prompt dental attention.

The dentist said you have an absessed tooth does it have to be pulled or can it heal?

No. Generally speaking an absessed tooth can be saved by antibiotic therapy and root canal therapy together. There are times when a tooth cannot be saved though- when not enough tooth structure is left to support a crown or "cap", or when a root is actually fractured. Sometimes an absessed tooth is caused from a periodontal problem or in other words, a gum problem. This requires antibiotics and debridement or "deep cleaning" - or surgery.

It is obvious by your question that this tooth has been absessed for some time. If you have never had these symptoms before, they could or could not be related this is why you should firstly make an apt. with your doctor. This is not normal. Secondly make an apt. with your dentist and have your tooth treated.
