Re-Root Canal Treatment

Root canal retreatment, also known as re-root canal treatment, is a dental procedure performed when a previously treated tooth exhibits signs of persistent infection, inflammation, or failed healing. During re-treatment, the dentist or endodontist removes the existing filling material, cleans the root canal system thoroughly, and then reseals the canal to prevent further infection. This procedure may involve addressing any missed canals, removing obstructions, or addressing new decay that has developed since the initial treatment. Re-root canal treatment aims to save the natural tooth by resolving issues that may have caused the original treatment to fail and restoring it to health.
