This procedure is typically necessary when a previous root canal treatment has failed or when new decay or damage has occurred to the tooth.

1. What is endodontic re-treatment and why might I need it from a family dentist?
Endodontic re-treatment is a procedure that involves removing the filling material from a previously treated root canal and cleaning the canal again. This may be necessary if the initial treatment was not successful or if new problems have developed. A family dentist may recommend this procedure if you are experiencing pain or discomfort in a previously treated tooth.
2. Is endodontic re-treatment painful?
Endodontic re-treatment is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel any pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort or sensitivity, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
3. How long does endodontic re-treatment take?
The length of the procedure will depend on the complexity of the case, but most endodontic re-treatments can be completed in one or two appointments. Your family dentist will be able to give you a more specific estimate based on your individual needs.
