Hold the radiograph in front of bright white light. Off flash of your camera while clicking the snap.
It's a bit blur for evaluation.

These days we don’t recommend extractions.. it’s rather a conservative dentistry.. if your tooth is not moving then chances of saving is there.. your X-ray is not clear..
Next Steps
Get a clear X-ray.

X-ray is not clear at all.
If the tooth is moving (mobile)...then only extract it. Or else u can save it .
