Through root canal treatment, problems within your tooth structure are resolved. By removing bacteria and damaged tissues from its pulp, we can stop an oral health threat from growing worse, put a stop to discomfort, and keep the tooth safe. Providing this service is often all that it takes to address a dental problem, but there are times when problems arise again, as well as situations where patients continue to feel pain and sensitivity. After performing a diagnostic review, we can determine if you need to do something about this issue—through retreatment, we can take on a problem and ensure that your tooth is safe. Retreatment addresses problems with a tooth that has gone through a root canal already. After carefully revealing its inner structure, we can tend to a new problem, or make sure that bacteria have all been eliminated, before sealing it again.
To properly treat a vulnerable tooth, we may need to do work in an area that a root canal procedure cannot reach. In this situation, oral surgery can be recommended to address the problem without making the extraction of your tooth necessary. One surgical procedure we offer is an apicoectomy, which will see your dentist carefully reveal and treat problems with a tooth’s roots. Because we can work on areas that are difficult for a general dentist to reach, we can provide solutions that help patients preserve their full smiles!
What should you do if your tooth continues to be a concern after a root canal procedure? To make sure that your oral health is properly restored, you may need to arrange retreatment. By providing this service, your endodontist can ensure that the problem with your oral health is fully resolved, or they can take on new issues that have arisen after past restorative work. Our practice provides this as one of many services that can save teeth in vulnerable states that are at risk for being lost.
