What Could Be Done To Keep An Infected Tooth Intact Without Removal?

I have 5 teeth on bottom one is crowned and have a bridge. Abcess formed in one next to crowned. I thought it was crowned. Have no pain. Dr. wants to remove middle tooth due to infection but that leaves me with an open hole in middle. I had to stop taking antibiotica afer4 days and seems no more pus. Had no pain but bad taste. What to do? I don't know how to put another tooth in. Dentist says he can't,

Hi
Thanks for asking
Since it has abscess, and if the tooth is firm then you can go for an root canal treatment and teeth can be saved.
