Dear patient, in reference to the picture you attached, looks like you have caries infection in your front teeth that is causing you pain. You also have gingivitis , that has caused pockets in your front teeth.
I would advise scaling for now.
Next Steps
maintain proper oral hygiene and continue warm water rinses twice a day.

Dear Patient,
It seems that you have cervical dental caries involving the pulp, which indeed must undergo RCT, as restoring the tooth by removing caries won't be sufficient to relieve the pain.
Thankyou. Keep smiling !
Next Steps
RCT followed by Zirconia crown.
