Don't get the permanent tooth extracted if it's the primary there isn't an issue but as the boy's age is just 9 it isn't the right choice for permanent tooth extraction.

Please don’t go extraction.. its his permanent tooth.. it’s not going to come again. As I have seen in x ray.. it can be saved with root canal treatment, afterwards post and core to build it up and then crown. It is not that much decayed that a RCT expert cant save it.
Next Steps
Go for RCT from some RCT expert .

Extracting a permanent tooth due to caries and pain is generally not advised because it can lead to various long-term dental and developmental issues. Here's why:
1. Premature loss of a permanent tooth:Extracting a permanent tooth at a young age can disrupt the normal eruption pattern of the remaining teeth, leading to misalignment and bite problems.
2. Space maintenance:Losing a permanent tooth prematurely can cause adjacent teeth to shift into the empty space, which may lead to crowding and alignment issues in the future.
3. Bone development:Extracting a permanent tooth can affect the growth and development of the jawbone and surrounding structures, potentially leading to facial asymmetry or other dental issues.
4. Functional problems:Losing a permanent tooth can impact a child's ability to chew properly and may affect speech development.
Instead of extraction, the preferred solution for treating caries and pain in a permanent tooth in a nine-year-old is typically:
1. Root canal therapy: As the caries have reached the pulp (nerve) of the tooth, a root canal treatment may be recommended to remove the infected tissue and save the tooth.
2. Preventive care:Emphasising good oral hygiene habits, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, can help prevent further decay and maintain overall oral health.
It's important to consult with a pediatric dentist or a dentist experienced in treating children to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on the child's individual needs and circumstances.

Hi,
Both the permanent teeth look like they can be treated with root canal treatment followed by a temporary crown. Please visit another dentist and get a clinical examination done.
