Sometimes, a previously treated tooth needs another round of care. Root canal retreatment becomes necessary when the initial treatment fails to fully heal the tooth, or new issues arise that compromise the success of the original procedure. At Dentistry at Happy Canyon, we understand that revisiting a tooth that has already undergone treatment can be daunting.
The Retreatment Process
When you come to us for root canal retreatment, you are taking a crucial step toward preserving your natural tooth and maintaining your oral health. Dr. Travis Haws will begin by thoroughly examining the affected tooth to determine the cause of the problem. This may involve taking new X-rays and discussing any symptoms you have been experiencing.
Once the issue is identified, the retreatment process involves several steps:
- Removing the original filling material from the root canal.
- Cleaning and disinfecting the canal thoroughly to eliminate any bacteria or debris.
- Inspecting the canal for any additional or previously missed canals that need treatment.
- Refilling and sealing the canal to prevent further infection.
- Placing a new crown or filling to protect the tooth and restore its function.
