Hello, considering your age and assuming that the tooth could be saved by root canal treatment I would suggest you to go ahead with the same. There is no effective alternative for RCT except that u may push the treatment little further by popping pain killers but again not advisable unless in unavoidable circumstances. Trust your dentist and go ahead.
