Root canal treatment should put a stop to discomfort caused by an injury or advanced cavity. If your tooth still hurts after a recent procedure, or if pain becomes a concern again after a period of time, it suggests that something is wrong and must be addressed. During a consultation to discuss retreatment, we can review the process for evaluating the problem tooth, accessing its inner structure to perform treatment, and the steps we take to re-seal it and protect it against further difficulties.
When working on a tooth that has already been treated and restored, your endodontist will take care to minimize any further changes to its structure. After carefully clearing away material used to seal your tooth after your earlier procedure. Once this is done, we can carefully examine the pulp and canals to find the reason for your problem. After treatment is completed, we can make sure that the tooth is properly sealed once again, and send you to your dentist to have a crown restore the tooth.
As a practice that focuses on matters that affect a tooth’s internal health, we are prepared to take on issues that a general dentist may not address. This can include procedures like retreatment, or even oral surgery to make sure a hard-to-access portion of a tooth can be treated. These services are able to save teeth that would otherwise have to be removed, which means that the right care can potentially stop tooth loss and remove the need to place a dental prosthetic.
