Tooth extraction after RCT
I had mild pain in my second molar on the left side. I went to the dentist and the doctor suggested that I have a root canal. The RCT was done and I had pain even after that. So the doctor performed RCT again and placed a crown on it. Even after that, there's still pain. After one month, I consulted another dentist and after seeing the x-ray he suggested that the tooth has to be extracted. I can't decide if I have to go for RCT again or a tooth extraction. Please help. I'm sharing the x-ray for reference.
