Thanks for sharing your concern...!

Please note as rightly suggested by your doctor the adjacent tooth would have been infected due to food lodging and hence RCT would be advisable. However the main source for this damage is your impacted (Horizontally) placed tooth. which definitely required removal as well.

I agree with your Dentists treatment plan and i think you should abide by that..!
