A previously treated tooth can sometimes develop persistent infection, symptoms or other complications. Smile Seed Dental evaluates the tooth and previous treatment before discussing re-root canal treatment or other suitable options.
Assessment may include a clinical examination, dental imaging and review of the tooth’s previous treatment. The dentist considers the cause of symptoms and whether the tooth can be predictably retained.
When Retreatment May Be Considered
Persistent symptoms, infection or changes around a previously treated tooth may require further evaluation. The dentist reviews the available evidence before recommending retreatment.
What to Expect
Treatment recommendations are individualized and may include re-root canal treatment, restoration or alternative care depending on the findings and the condition of the tooth.
