Why do I need another endodontic procedure? - As occasionally happens with any dental or medical procedure, a tooth may not heal as expected after initial treatment for a variety of reasons.  Here, we will help you understand and describe the process and understand some of the reason for retreatment.

 - Narrow or curved canals were not treated during the initial procedure.

 - Complicated canal anatomy went undetected in the first procedure.

 - The crown or other restoration was not placed soon enough after the procedure.

 - The restoration did not prevent saliva from contaminating the inside of the tooth.

In other cases, a new problem can jeopardize a tooth that was successfully treated.  For example:

New Decay can expose the root canal filling material to bacteria, causing a new infection in the tooth.

A loose, cracked, or broken crown or filling can expose the tooth to new infection.

So. now what will happen during the retreatment procedure?
