I never heard of putting so many posts in a tooth-- pins possibly (and this procedure is very outdated) but not posts. If it hasn't had root canal yet, why rush to an extraction. Perhaps a root canal procedure can help. Of course you'll need a "ost" and a new crown, but I wouldn't rush to extract the tooth ye unless it is so badly decayed that it is not restorable even with a root canal procedure. If your dentist cannot mke he situation clear to you, you should get another opinion.
