While a root canal can, and often does, create a lasting fix to tooth decay and pain, sometimes they do not always heal properly or the tooth sometimes suffers additional strain and damage. Should this happen, you are not obliged to live with the pain, but rather you can opt into an endodontic retreatment procedure.
In essence, endodontic retreatment is performing a root canal on a tooth that has already undergone root canal surgery. The need for retreatment can come from many things including new or worsening decay as well as improper healing from the first surgery. Doctor Donn R Jacobs can be trusted to accurately perform all of your dental procedures.
