A retreatment of a root canal, also known as endodontic retreatment, is a procedure performed when a previously treated tooth exhibits signs of infection or the initial treatment has not been successful. The steps of the retreatment are almost the same as starting a new endodontic treatment.
Endodontic retreatment aims to address any issues that may have persisted after the initial root canal treatment. While retreatment is a common and effective procedure, in some cases, other options such as endodontic surgery or tooth extraction may be considered. Consult with Dimopoulou Dental Care to determine the most appropriate course of action based on your specific situation.
