After the extraction u can have solid food but it has to be soft a diet , that would be fine
And regarding the root canal please provide the complete information, if it’s a normal cavity you can go with normal restoration but if the cavity is deep and effecting pulp you need to get root canal done.

Hi,
If Root canal treatment is not possible, then tooth extraction followed by replacement.
Post extraction, you have to be on a soft diet for 24 to 36 hours, and avoid chewing on the side where the tooth has been removed for 3 days.

1)You can have soft, and bland food (hot and spicy can be avoided) post extraction.
2)If RCT is not possible extraction follwed by implants or bridge is the only option left.

There is no restrictions on food intake after extraction.
You can have food as per your convenience.
Only thing to take care is that you don't have to spit,rinse or have anything hot for next 24 hours after extraction.
If root canal is not possible, then extraction is the only choice left.
