Hello Dr, I had severe toothache in upper five number tooth. Doctor had advised scaling and sporidex af 750 and a hifenac p for five days. Today I got the scaling done, now he told that rct can be performed on the tooth, but there is high chance that it can break as the condition of the tooth not good (some blueish spot is there). Other option is extraction. Which option should I opt. I am fear that extraction means a permanent loss. I am only 30 years old lady. Moreover, I am suffering with plaque and tooth decay since young age only. I brush twice on a regular basis. Then why such happens with me. Please advice.

A second opinion may help you if the post and core procedure along with RCT is faesible in your case. An xray is required to suggest further. See if you can get an xray done.
