Save your teeth: Discuss all treatment with your dentist prior to any extractions. At age 18, if possible, I would avoid any extractions, other than wisdom teeth. If the tooth is viable and can be saved with root canal therapy, this is long term more prudent.

See any dentist ASAP: If you rely on antibiotics or other not a definitive treatment, the pain and tooth infection always will come back. Dentist will treat a tooth infection by treating the cause and getting rid of the infection. Do not delay. See any dentist ASAP. Good luck.
