Under typical circumstances, a problem with an aching or sensitive tooth can be stopped after a patient undergoes root canal therapy. While this is often what happens, patients sometimes begin to experience trouble after their trip to the dentist’s office. A root canal enables your dentist to work within your tooth to remove bacteria and tend to injuries. While they have considerable access to the pulp, there may be problems that are still beyond their reach, which makes further treatment necessary. Of course, it is also possible that a tooth will experience new problems after a successful treatment, either due to physical injury or because of new issues with decay.
After a diagnostic review to see what is happening with your tooth, your endodontist can schedule retreatment. During the retreatment process, the material sealing your pulp will be carefully removed so that new work can take place. Once it is completed, your dentist can make sure the tooth’s inner chamber is filled again to keep it safe.
By visiting an endodontist, you can find that a tooth in poor health can still be saved. With the right procedure, we can access areas that are difficult for a dentist to reach and do work to deal with infections and injuries that have put you at risk for tooth loss. When necessary, we can even perform oral surgery to take care of issues with hard-to-access tooth roots. These services provide an important level of support against oral health concerns that often lead to tooth extraction and replacement.
