How to treat an infected tooth... in Northern Uganda

[digross]

My colleague in Lira, Uganda, has an infected molar, and has been in pain for over a month.
She went today to the local dentist, which is "DentAid". The dentist said to pull the tooth because "it is weak", and that is why he cannot fill it. No mention of a crown, or what do to with the gap.
There are few choices — Uganda has very few dentists! I doubt there is a second opinion to be had!
We are wondering what to do next. Pull the tooth? Request a filling? Request a crown? If they cannot do a crown or filling, what then?

If anyone has advice, we would appreciate it!!!

(The diagnosis is unreadable to me (see attached image).)

The diagnosis is also hard for me to read. However, it appears to be talking about pulpitis in teeth 18 and 48. These are "wisdom teeth"and are usually extracted in most people. Wisdom teeth do not need replacement as they are redundant.
