I just found out my #19 tooth has an abscess. I am looking at three options.?

See an endodontist (Specialist in root cs). The technology today is amazing. I had a root c on a molar porcelain crown. It was done in one appointment, the equipment was amazing, and so was the east indian dentist! I made a down payment, set up a payment plan and didn't have to worry about follow up appointments like extractions, implants or bridges. Dental School? why chance it! Just do it.
