Root canal treatment is highly successful, but in rare instances, some patients may have lingering pain and/or discomfort in the treated area. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t despair. Dr. Rolin Desir at the Conyers Endodontic Center is here to help determine what is causing your pain. Let’s learn more about endodontic retreatment.
Endodontic retreatment is used to address a problem in a tooth that has had a root canal. In most cases, a root canal resolves the issue that caused your pain. If you still have pain in the tooth, you may have a problem that needs further treatment. This can be caused by complex dental anatomy or other issues that have led to an infection or continued discomfort. Dr. Desir uses special tools and expertise to re-treat your tooth and help you save it.
Anytime you can keep your natural tooth, it’s a good idea. Only a dental implant can compare to the functionality and appearance of the tooth you were born with. With endodontic retreatment, Dr. Desir can address the underlying issue to help you preserve your tooth without complicated restorations.
Some patients have dental canals that are narrow or curved in an atypical way. In this scenario, infected tissue may have been left behind following your root canal. Endodontic retreatment can alleviate the pain in these hidden canals.
Persistent symptoms can include a feeling of pressure, discomfort, or pain. This usually indicates an unresolved infection, but other issues can cause these symptoms, too. At Conyers Endodontic Center, patient testimonials highlight the relief they found through endodontic retreatment with Dr. Desir.
Dr. Desir uses state-of-the-art tools such as 3D imaging, digital radiographs, and operating microscopes to treat your tooth. These can help pinpoint damaged areas or hidden canals that were initially missed.
Left untreated, a tooth infection that remains can cause other dental problems by compromising your gums or neighboring teeth. Any of these can occur:
With endodontic treatment, you don’t only solve the immediate problem and pain in your tooth. You can also enjoy better oral health in the long term. Teeth that are treated successfully remain functional, and you can have your natural teeth for a lifetime if you properly care for them. Be sure to practice good oral hygiene at home and visit Conyers Endodontic Center every six months for checkups.
