If the tooth can be saved, then by all means save it. Go for the root canal treatment. Always remember that the natural tooth is far superior to any artificial replacements. Also, if RCT is done properly, then there is very little possibility of the tooth getting reinfected.
Health Tips
Don't forget to place a crown on the tooth after RCT completion. Choose a good quality of crown so that it may last longer
