Why Retreatment Is Sometimes Called For

In times when teeth require restorative treatment, you can be happy to know that a procedure can permanently put a stop to an active problem. Between the removal of bacteria and damaged tissues and the placement of a durable restoration, you should be able to return to your daily life without further concern over this tooth. However, there are times when new issues do arise, or when they might persist after your initial treatment. What should you do in this situation? At our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office, we can provide answers when you have questions about dental trouble after care. By providing retreatment, we can address a new source of concern for the tooth, or look out for lingering issues that were not fully addressed during your initial procedure.

Are You Having Issues With A Tooth That Has Previously Been Treated?

If you have already undergone a root canal treatment, your tooth should be completely restored and free of active problems. In other words, there should not be a need for follow-up care after that procedure is provided. For many, this will be the case, but there are times when new issues can arise, or even situations where discomfort persists after treatment. If the tooth was not fully treated initially, damaged or infected tissues within the tooth can continue to affect you. In the event that new problems affect the tooth, another procedure can be recommended to deal with the matter.

We Can Determine If Retreatment Is Necessary

By providing a diagnostic review, we can determine why you have new or continued issues with a tooth that was previously restored. We rely on advanced imaging technology, including microscopes, to provide remarkably detailed studies. Once we know what is happening with your oral health, we can see if it is necessary to provide retreatment. If so, we can carefully reveal the tooth’s inner chamber so that we can treat the source of concern, then take care to re-seal it so that you can have it restored again.

Other Services That Can Call For A Visit With Your Endodontist

There are many different circumstances where you might require treatment with an endodontist. In some circumstances, it is necessary to do work on a tooth that even a root canal will not reach. In these situations, we can recommend oral surgery, which can tend to these problems and prevent the need for an extraction. We can also do work to restore your tooth structure enough to hold a permanent restoration.
