It will continue to abscess until it is extracted. I would think a root canal would be pretty pricey for a dog. I just spent over $3,000 on a root canal and crown on top.

They are pricey. I had one done on my oldest girl (maltese) a few years ago, saved the tooth though, and she still has it
It cost around 450.00 at that time
