ENDODONTIC RETREATMENT

Corrects Previous Root Canal Issues
Endodontic retreatment is performed when a previously treated tooth develops new infection or complications. It involves carefully reopening the tooth, removing old filling material, cleaning the canals, and addressing any remaining infection. This procedure helps save the tooth that might otherwise need extraction.

Eliminates Persistent Pain and Infection
If a tooth continues to cause discomfort, swelling, or sensitivity after a root canal, retreatment targets the source of infection. By thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the canals, it relieves pain and prevents the infection from spreading to surrounding teeth and bone.

Restores Function and Longevity
After retreatment, the tooth is sealed and usually restored with a crown or filling for strength and durability. This ensures the tooth continues to function normally for chewing and speaking, allowing patients to maintain their natural teeth and avoid more invasive procedures.
