Reasons Retreatment May Be Necessary For A Problem Tooth

The work to restore the health of an infected tooth should put a stop to active pain and prevent complications from affecting your smile and health. Under some circumstances, patients may need to have a tooth worked on again, either because a problem was not fully treated, or because a new issue develops at a later time. Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office is prepared to help you if you need work done on a tooth that has already undergone root canal therapy. By providing retreatment, we can access the inner structure of your tooth and carefully tend to any new issues that have formed, or address an infected area that was left untreated during your initial procedure.

A Dental Procedure Should Completely Address Problems With A Toothache

By performing root canal therapy, your dentist can resolve your problems with a tooth infection. This treatment brings relief after an injury or advanced decay causes internal problems. Typically, once this is done and the tooth is restored with a dental crown, you should remain free of problems. Unfortunately, there are times when a person needs a second procedure on a tooth. It may be due to a new injury or infection that develops at a later date. If you start to struggle with pain or sensitivity not long after a root canal, it can be a warning that a problem was not completely treated.

Arranging Retreatment When A Restored Tooth Is Infected Or Injured

If you need work done because of a new problem with an injured tooth, or if you start to experience problems with infection, we can schedule retreatment to safely access and treat problems within the tooth. This is just one of many services we provide when patients have problems that are less common or harder to reach and treat. We also provide treatments like apicoectomies, a form of oral surgery where your roots are exposed so that a tip can be removed to give us access to an area that is out of reach during a root canal. If you need a second opinion after seeing your dentist, or because you have been told a problem will require tooth extraction, we can use our advanced imaging technology to carefully study your tooth and find out how we can help you.

Scheduling Retreatment When New Problems Arise After A Procedure

If your tooth continues to hurt after your root canal, you may still have bacteria or damaged tissue in your pulp that will need to be removed. You can bring this problem to our practice so that we can perform a study and arrange retreatment. Upon this second treatment, we can remove whatever damaged or infected tissues remain in place so that your tooth is fully problem-free!
