According to X-ray,yes it might require Root canal treatment but need to evaluate it clinically.There is no need to extract the tooth,as the tooth can be saved.
You should get it treated now irrespective of how much the infection is.
Next Steps
Visit a local dentist and get it Physically evaluated and an X-ray followed by treatment required,as soon as possible.

Hi,
The tooth decay is deep and needs to be treated. Are you having any pain? From the X-ray shown, it is better to undergo Root canal treatment followed by Crown.
