Hello

It is very difficult to answer this question without seeing you or your x-rays.

However, Your dentist has adivsed you correctly I feel as unfortunately root canal therapy probably cannot be performed, so an extraction would be needed. I would see your dentist regarding a restoration of some sort so that you don’t have a gap.
