Hi,

Need your opinions if the tooth “A” should be extracted.

My wife had root canal treatment for the tooth “A” as can be seen from the photo at a dentist and was going to have additional treatment for that tooth before crown. But in the meantime we moved to other city and visited a new dentist near home for the tooth check up. The doctor took X-ray photo, opened temporary sealing and said tooth “A” needs to be removed because of nerve problems, and he extracted the tooth.

I know that basically every dentist tries to save teeth rather than removing, but this dentist simply extracted the tooth which was in the middle of root canal treatment. I really don’t understand the reason of extraction, and would like to have opinions from professionals if the tooth “A” had to be removed based on the X-ray image I attached. The photo was taken before the tooth extraction.
Thanks,
