      Root Canal Retreatment

      Address a failed root canal treatment.

      A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth) and saves the tooth. However, in some cases, a root canal may not completely heal or become re-infected. This is where root canal retreatment comes in.

      Root canal retreatment is a specialized procedure performed by a Specialist Endodontist to address a failed root canal. It essentially involves reopening the tooth, removing any new infection or persistent material, cleaning and disinfecting the canals, and resealing the tooth.

      Signs that you may need root canal retreatment includes:
      • persistent pain or tenderness in the tooth or surrounding area
      • new or worsening swelling around the tooth
      • cracked tooth
      • drainiage from the tooth
      • sensitivity to hot or cold

      Root Canal Retreatment FAQs

      There are two main reasons why you might need a retreatment:

      • Incomplete Initial Treatment: Occasionally, the initial root canal might not completely address the infection due to narrow canals, undetected complex anatomy, or delayed placement of a permanent crown.
      • New Problems: A previously successful root canal can encounter new issues like new decay, a loose/broken crown, or a fractured tooth, allowing bacteria to re-enter and cause infection.
      What is recovery like after root canal retreatment?

      You might experience some mild discomfort or soreness after the procedure. Your endodontist will prescribe medication to manage any pain and instruct you on proper care for the treated tooth.

      At Harmony Medical Center, we have Specialist Endodontists across all our branches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Our root canal specialists have undergone a minimum of 3 additional years of postgraduate education and training dedicated to root canal therapy, surgery, and retreatment.
