Will I Need Retreatment After My Root Canal?

Typically, a root canal procedure will fully restore your oral health. Once the tooth’s pulp is sealed and a dental crown is put in place, you should not have any more trouble. Unfortunately, there are times when people experience pain even after a procedure, or start to experience discomfort after a relatively short break. The return or persistence of dental discomfort is a cause for concern. At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment facility, we can provide important evaluations to patients who find themselves in this situation. It may be necessary to perform retreatment, additional care that fully resolves trouble that was not properly addressed, or provides additional work if a new issue arises after your root canal.

A Root Canal Should Fully Address Problems With Your Tooth

When you undergo root canal therapy, your tooth’s inner chamber, the pulp, is accessed so that bacteria and infected tissues within can be removed. Fully clearing out an infection and sealing the pulp should put a stop to problems with your dental health. After this work concludes, and you receive your permanent dental crown, you should not require additional services. So why do some patients need to see someone for retreatment? Sometimes, this is necessary because a new problem affects the tooth, making further care necessary. In other circumstances, it can be required because your tooth’s health was not fully restored during your root canal.

Using Advanced Imaging Technology To Study Your Tooth Before Treatment

Whenever our practice tends to a patient’s dental health, we rely on advanced technology to provide detailed dental evaluations. Advanced imaging technology, including microscopes, help us identify problems that are difficult to identify. After recognizing the problem, we can move forward with a procedure to fully resolve you problems.

Other Services We Provide To Restore Vulnerable Teeth

Endodontic services address problems that are often difficult to address at a general dental practice. Because these offices have a difficult time addressing problems within the tooth structure, they may have nothing to offer beyond extracting and replacing the tooth. In addition to root canal therapy and retreatment, we can provide more involved services, including oral surgery, to save teeth in vulnerable conditions.
