Root canal retreatment is a procedure performed when a previously treated tooth does not heal properly or becomes painful again over time. Divine Smiles Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry offers expert care in root canal retreatment to help save your natural tooth and restore your oral health. With updated techniques and modern technology, this process can often relieve discomfort and preserve the tooth for many more years.
Why Retreatment May Be Needed
Even when a root canal is done with care, complications can occasionally develop. These may include untreated canals, complex root structures or new decay that compromises the original restoration. Root canal retreatment gives our dentist and team the opportunity to clean, disinfect and reseal the tooth to eliminate infection and promote healing.
Signs that a tooth may need retreatment include:
- Persistent pain or discomfort in a previously treated tooth
- Swelling or tenderness near the gums
- Development of a pimple-like bump near the tooth
- Changes in color or sensitivity
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, a consultation with our dental team can help determine the best course of action.
