Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Yes ,the presence of the abscess will cause the mobility of the teeth.The degree of mobility determines whether the tooth is to be extracted or it can undergo treatment.

I would advice you to take a radio-graph done and also based on the clinical presentation,if the teeth can be saved with root canal treatment ,you can have it done.
If there is mobility such that the tooth cannot be saved ,go ahead with removal followed by replacing the missing teeth.

Do continue with salt water gargling and antibiotics if prescribed by the dentist.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
