Requirement of root canal
Does this tooth requires root canal treatment? I haven't felt any pain in this tooth so far so does that mean that decay has not reached to the nerves yet? What if I get the filling done on this tooth?

The xray provided by you clearly shows the damage to be already touching the deeper areas of tooth...which does require a root canal treatment...filling is not all indicated in your scenario
