I needed a complete cleaning with few filling of decayed tooth. When I visited a dentist she suggested to wait with the teeth gets decayed completely and then to do root canal. Somehow I am not comfortable with this. Any suggestions?

It's just stupidity. May be money making rct costs more than filling. Best thing is to get it filled and if no pain good enough and if pain develops then rct either way u won't regret for not filling later
