Opinion on pulpectomy for my son

Hi doctor, We have been advised to proceed with a pulpectomy for 3 of his milk teeth. I would like to understand if the pulpectomy is truly necessary or it would be safe to wait for the milk tooth to naturally fall out. I have attached his dental x-ray. Could you please advice 1) whether it is really required 2) if delaying treatment could cause any issue to other surrounding teeth 3) approx how long it may take for his milk tooth tk naturally fall out( he will turn 6 yr old in jan 27) 4) whether there are any alternative treatment options Thanks in Advance

Tmd without pain but sound present

I accidentally had a retracting habit of jaw for a month in which I had swayed opening towards the opp side clicking on each opening (only on left )and tightness and spasms but now it's been 10 days since I've stopped it and the sway spasms tightness and pops have vanished. Now I only have some occasional opening pops which are dull but my main concern is that my left side feels uncoordinaated while chewing and it feels like the left side sinks when I clamp down though this sinking feeling itself has gone down by a lot and now I can naturally hold my normal centered position. Also the symptom I fear is that somedays I wake up with a jaw that catches when I open. I am able to prevent this by sleeping mindfully on my right side. I have no pain whatsoever and opening is unrestricted and clcikings are only present infrequently while chewing. I am confused on what's going on with me please help. I visited a maxillofacial surgeon while retraction habit and told me not to worry
