Why does an abscess need to be drained?
An abscess needs to be drained to remove the pus buildup, which can be a collection of bacteria and dead tissue.

If the leftover cavity is large enough, it may need to be packed to prevent re-accumulation of infection and allow the cavity to heal from the inside out.

Is it safe to extract a tooth when it has an abscess?
Abscesses need to be burst in order to heal. However, what will come out of your abscess is bacteria, so you should consult your doctor about an antibiotic such as Doxycycline. At the very least, make sure to clean the area thoroughly and to wash your hands before and after dealing with the area. The bacteria can spread to other skin cells, so try to collect the draining before it drips to other areas. Wear gauze over the area because an abscess is likely to keep draining for some time (possibly days) after, and you don't want the bacteria spreading.
