Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint in case if you have deep infection in tooth that can be treated well with Root Canal treatment then you need not worry as the tooth can be very well saved with Root Canal Treatment and if done by a registered dental practitioner the chances of treatment failure and loose of tooth are less. So my suggest to you is that you should proceed with root canal treatment and after completion of treatment you should get the tooth capped. Root Canal treatment is the best possible way to fix your condition, and you need not worry, but in ca of any doubt you can once consult an Endodontist who is specialist in this treatment and will resolve your confusion and also do root canal treatment. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
