If the doctor has suggested you rct please go ahead with it there is no way it can be reversed
If you delay then the decay might spread further and lead to tooth removal

Hi sir...
The pain and swelling is due to cavity is so deep that reaches the nerve layer (pulp layer)then root canal treatment should be done to save your tooth
First and foremost is to take an x-ray (IOPA)to rule out the exact cause and better understanding
Root canal treatment cost starting from 3500/-
After the root canal treatment it is mandatory to place a crown
There are several material types of crowns are available
*ceramic crowns (with warranty ) 5000/- per tooth
*ceramic crowns (without warranty ) 3500/- per tooth
*zirconia crowns 10000/- per tooth
Next Steps

Hello Sir, I would advise you to visit your dentist for better understanding of your condition. If the tooth can be saved it would have to undergo RCT. If the tooth cannot be saved it would have to be removed.
