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.
