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.

Most dentists prefer to save your teeth if at all possible so discuss the root canal as an option.

What are consequences of getting your root canal therapy?
If your tooth needs a root canal and is not painful, then it must be a dead tooth. When a tooth is dead, it is a source of infection which is not good. It is possible that it could hurt in the future due to infection. Better to have the root canal done, because you're trying to save your tooth. If you don't have the root canal treatment done and your tooth continues to decay, the dentist might have to pull that tooth out in the future. Once you pull out your tooth, that's gone forever
Brief about root canal implant?
A root canal implant combines two treatments for damaged or infected teeth. First, a root canal cleans and seals the natural tooth root to remove infection. If the tooth cannot be saved or needs extra support, a dental implant replaces the missing tooth with a titanium post and crown. Together, they relieve pain, stop infection, restore function, and give a natural look. This approach helps preserve oral health and long-term chewing ability.
