Root Canal Treatment is the best option to save a tooth if it is damaged deeply. This way you can save your natural tooth. The only other option is to remove it and replace with an artificial tooth, but this is the last option you should consider. Better to go for root canal treatment and save the tooth

Root canal at this stage is the only way to save the tooth. Any other option is removal of the tooth that means loosing your toorh permanently which will have to be replaced with artificial means anyways.
Its rather better to save your own tooth with root canal in that case.

Will have to check by taking iopa or OPG as root canal is the best possible treatment to save the tooth from the infection if tooth goes for extraction you will have to replace it either by Dental implant or Fpd ...After root canal treatment most importantly make sure that you get a crown on the same tooth...

Since the tooth is damaged very badly root canal is the only option to save the tooth. Root canal will help in cleaning the inside of the tooth and help to keep the tooth infection free in the longterm. Make sure to have a cap on the tooth after root canal treatment
