Pain in molar tooth
Pain in molar tooth like sore, throbbing and hurts for pressing with fingers. Hurts only on one side of the gum /tooth. Hurts at the back and right side of the tooth(towards the wisdom tooth area).
What to do for this gum swelling? Do I need to get deep clean or RCT or extraction..my dentist gave me these three options and asked me to choose one. He said extraction will help me in long run.
Is it good to get it extracted?
This is confusing and as a patient , don't know what to do next.
Tooth hurts for pressing with fingers. No hot or cold sensitive. Please let me know valuable thoughts.

Actually the root cause is because if gum infection as calculus deposits and swollen gum line suggestive of gum infection (deep). Missing tooth in front of molar tooth is also there so forces will be maximum on that second molar so thorough ultrasonic scaling, root planing in case of deep periodontal pocket ( must evaluate clinically), good oral hygiene measures will give good results.
