Why isn't it advisable to remove abscessed teeth because your 7-year-old niece had one and the dentist decided to remove it anyway even though she's allergic to penicillin and was in a lot of pain?

I'm thinking the dentist removed it because it was a baby tooth and it was probably in the best interest of the child to get rid of the abscess. Being allergic to penicillin shouldn't have anything to do with it. I'm allergic to penicillin also. There are plenty of other medications out there that fight infection. I don't 100% understand your question but the doctor may have removed the tooth because he felt the infection couldn't be treated properly. Regarding pain, they could have given her medication for that as well. ~ T
