It is not possible to give a rational suggestion without a look at the clinical condition of the tooth and the X-ray of the tooth. Please attach these, if possible. It is even our preference to avoid extraction and save the tooth by root canal treatment and if one of the dentist is not able to do that satisfactorily, you can always consult another dentist to avoid extraction.
Regards.
