Most frequent questions about root canal retreatment
A root canal retreatment may be necessary when a previously root canal treated tooth fails to heal or if a recurrent infection is evident.
The purpose of a root canal retreatment is to discover what caused the reoccurrence of the bacterial infection in the root canal space and eliminate it in order to prevent reoccurrence in the future.
It is necessary to identify and fully remove the bacterial infection from the root canal in order to prevent reoccurrence and further damage, which may result in the loss of your tooth. The sooner you treat it the better.
If your general dentist referred you to an Endodontist specialist, it is because your dentist believes your case requires the expertise of a specialized Endodontist and wants you to receive the best possible treatment with the best possible outcome.
This endodontic treatment is performed under local anesthesia and therefor root canal retreatment is almost completely painless.
