Hi!
Firstly judging by the situation I totally understand the difficulty you are facing right now!
Next Steps
I have some follow up questions please answer them :
Which teeth are to be extracted and which are to undergo RCT. Your dentist mist have mentioned tooth numbers or teeth on your prescription. Share them.
Health Tips
If the RCT and extraction teeth have clashing quadrants by any chance, you should go for RCT first, followed by extractions.
Because, post extraction swelling and sensitivity is normal.

Hello! You need to completely trust your treating dentist to know the order of treatment. I can surely tell you what factors you need to think about before making the decision.
1. The tooth that is giving you the most discomfort should be tended to first.
2. The tooth that the dentist tells is most damaged should be treated before others as leaving it as it is will cause further complications
3. Extraction will leave a wound in the area which cannot be touched for atleast 3 to 4 days.
4. Consider your food preference too as you wont be able to eat from the side of extracted tooth.
All these things being said, i feel you should rely on the dentist to make the right decision for you.
Next Steps
Trust your treating dentist for the sequence of treatment.

Hi maam kindly get the tooth that is troubling you or giving pain treated first.
Also root canal treatments can be addressed first as post extraction bleeding would be there.

Only after oral examination one can decide what to do.
Go to a proper dental clinic,don’t go to so called charitable type or cheap dental treatment facilities they do lots of treatment that are not needed and never do treatment that is important.
