What is Root Canal Retreatment?
Root canal retreatment is a crucial follow-up procedure for a tooth that hasn’t healed as expected after initial root canal therapy or has encountered new issues. Over time, factors like incomplete cleaning of the canals, complex root structures, or developing decay can lead to re-infection. This process involves carefully reopening the tooth, removing the existing filling material, and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the canals. Once addressed, the canals are resealed to foster healing and ensure the longevity of your tooth.
Why Might You Need Retreatment?
While root canal treatments boast high success rates, there are occasions when additional care is essential for maintaining your long-term dental health. Retreatment can effectively save your tooth, helping you avoid extraction and retain your natural smile and function. Thanks to advancements in endodontic technology, re-treatment can now be performed with impressive precision and effectiveness, ensuring that underlying issues are resolved and your tooth’s health is restored for years to come. Don’t compromise your dental well-being; consider retreatment to safeguard your smile.
