Infection jaw bone

Infection jaw bone

My bite was off on tooth 18 which is a tooth with a crown, there was discomfort when I chewed on that site-My dentist confirmed the bite was off, ground it down and then an xray showed an infection in the bone--she suggeted extraction as root canal was not 100% cure-she had a name for the infection but I don't remember the word-so I have been taking atibiotics,as I began to feel a dull throbbing and now the discomfort is gone--should I have it xrayed again before the extraction?

I would get another opinion from an endodontist(root canal specialist) before extracting the tooth.
