Hello Doctor, I have 2 cavities for  left upper teeth. So consulted a dentist and they suggested for root canal for both teeth and not for a filling. Please check the attached opg and suggest me weather to go for root canal treatment or not. Thank you.

Hi, From the OPG shared, looks like you need to undergo Root Canal treatment. Take a X-ray RVG to confirm.
