When Tooth Trouble Calls For Retreatment

Once you arrange the appropriate restorative dental work for an unhealthy, aching tooth, you should be able to put oral health concerns and discomfort behind you. Unfortunately, there are times when problems persist after a procedure, as well as circumstances where new issues can arise at a later date. In these situations, retreatment can be necessary. This procedure tends to a tooth that has already undergone a root canal so that a new problem can be addressed, or to make sure the initial issue with your tooth is properly managed. Our El Paso, TX endodontic treatment office has advanced imaging technology that we can use to evaluate your tooth and make sure the correct care is provided when you need this service.

A Root Canal Should Provide Lasting Support For A Problem Tooth

It can be difficult to ignore the warning signs when your tooth requires root canal treatment. This procedure addresses an infection within your pulp, the central chamber of the tooth—until that infection is addressed, you can have ongoing issues with pain and sensitivity. Typically, treatment will completely remove the threat to your oral health, which means you should not have any more issues with discomfort. Unfortunately, problems can sometimes persist after treatment, or new issues can develop due to a new issue with your oral health. To deal with a problem after your tooth has already undergone treatment, it can be necessary for you to arrange retreatment, a procedure that accesses and treats the inner structure of a tooth that has been restored previously.

Arranging Retreatment To Address Trouble With Your Oral Health

When the service is needed, retreatment will address either a new issue, or one that was not completely treated after your initial care. At our endodontic treatment office, we can make sure the space where treatment is needed is carefully accessed and restored, and from there we can prepare your tooth to be protected once again by a permanent restoration.

Discussing Other Endodontic Services

Thanks to our advanced imaging technology and different endodontic services, we can take on significant oral health concerns without making the extraction of your tooth necessary. The right procedure is obviously important, but you should not overlook the importance of a thorough evaluation. Because our imaging tools include microscopes, we can closely inspect you to make sure we know the source of your oral health issues and tend to them properly.

When it is needed, retreatment can properly restore a tooth that has already been through a past treatment. This can stop new problems, or it can be a necessary service when a root canal did not fully remove bacteria or treat damage to your tooth structure.
