GM ; Saving the tooth be it front or back is mandatory. This infection can be taken care of two ways; Root canal treatment with special materials or apicoectomy. Problem is at the root apex; need to clear infection from there wether doing from the tooth or opening bone and root apex. I believe in conservative treatment; this tooth deginetly can be saved they proper root canal treatment, you can contact me if you wish for consultation.

Considering your age, it would be highly recommended that you go for procedures which can save the tooth...... apicectomy should be attempted first and should be done by an oral surgeon only..... if unfortunately that fails, extraction would be the last option and tooth replacement by implants can be suggested at that point..... Regards....
