Already you have mentioned you have an abscess in the wisdom tooth. So you should not wait any longer as the sepsis will spread to the rest of the body if left untreated and not good for your general well being. There should be No apprehension regarding extraction as most of the time the wisdom tooth develops various problems and warrants removal.
