Brief Answer: Root Canal Treatment is the best option Detailed Answer: Hello, XXXX Thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic. This is Dr. DIPTI XXXXXXX here to answer your query. Actually root canal is a procedure, in which the infection is removed and the tooth is saved, you just need to get a cap on the tooth after treatment. Whereas in removal of tooth you will loose the tooth and to get a prosthesis (artificial tooth) in that area, cutting of two adjacent tooth will be done. So better to go for root canal treatment . Thank you. Regards Dr, Dipti XXXXXXX
