it depends how deep is your cavity .if the cavity is under your gum there are few chance to keep it because to do a root canal or put a crown is necessary remove all cavity and is contraindicated if your cavity is under your gum or close to the root. If the cavity is too big, sometimes there is nothing that can be done and the tooth has to be extracted. But a first molar is a big tooth that is important for chewing. If you lose it, it will affect the other teeth. Therefore if there is anyway to repair the cavity, by either a filling or a root canal, it would be the best option.
