Frequently Asked Questions
Everything patients most often ask us — from root canal retreatment to what to expect on your first visit.
A root canal retreatment is a procedure performed when a tooth that previously had a root canal has not healed properly, has become re-infected, or is causing ongoing pain or swelling. It involves reopening the treated tooth, removing the previous filling material, cleaning the canals again, and resealing the tooth. Retreatment is often the best way to save a natural tooth and avoid extraction or more costly procedures like implants.
