If there is recurrent pus discharge from the tooth, it is better to go for extraction. Please share xray for better treatment planning.

Hi,
Please share any X-ray if taken. If the dentist has recommended tooth extraction, then go ahead. Antibiotics will subside the infection, but the source of the infection needs to be treated.
