Talk to experienced dentist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
In my opion a root canal may be possibel for tooth no. 6 amd 7.Incase the further loss of structure your clinician will be the best judge whether to go for a post or extract the tooth completely.Tooth no. 8 shall probably go for an extraction.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist at the earliest to prevent further damage.
Health Tips
Avoid having cold and sweet foods as well as avoid eating on that side till you have completed your treatment.

In my opinion tooth can be saved by doing rct followed by post and cap placement but the longevity of the tooth will be questionable,it may or may not be successful,I would advice you to go for removal of 7 and also there is cavity in 6 so get the filling or rct done for 6 ,about 8 ..you go for removal in case of pain or cavity
