Hi..based on symptoms, root canal is the only way. Deeper cavities are often treated by root canal only. If proper anesthesia is given, it can be made painless. You can visit me on practo.com, Marathahalli, Bangalore.

If your doctor has advised RCT that will be the best choice of treatment for that tooth. Once nerves of the tooth are damaged and tooth is in good condition, saving the tooth by doing root canal treatment will be good. Can u please upload xray.
