What Is Endodontic Retreatment?
Endodontic retreatment is a type of procedure that might be needed if you’re still having problems with a given tooth even after it has received root canal treatment. Our team can reopen the tooth and carefully examine the root canals to check for spots that may have been overlooked during our initial cleaning. Any bacteria that we find will be removed as quickly as possible. The sooner you have an endodontic retreatment performed, the better your chances of saving the tooth will be.
Why Would I Need Endodontic Retreatment?
A root canal treatment is meant to help relieve the pain caused by an infection, so if you notice any discomfort in the treated tooth, that is usually a strong indicator that you might need an endodontic retreatment. Another possible warning sign is the appearance of an abscess (a pimple-like bump) near the tooth. You should not delay endodontic retreatment any longer than necessary, so if you believe that you might need it, we urge you to pick up the phone immediately and schedule an appointment for us.
The Endodontic Retreatment Process
Like with a root canal treatment, we will begin your endodontic retreatment by numbing your mouth. Then, in order to work with the tooth, we will remove the crown as well as the biocompatible filling material. Another cleaning will be performed, during which we will pay especially close attention to the areas that may have been initially overlooked; our goal is to eliminate any infection that might remain. The tooth will be filled with biocompatible material again once your retreatment is complete. Follow-up appointments may be necessary so that we can confirm that no new problems have appeared.
