Renew and Protect Your Natural Tooth
While root canal therapy is highly successful, there are times when a previously treated tooth may not heal properly or develops new problems. At Gulf Coast Dental Care, our dentists in Gulfport, Mississippi, provide expert root canal retreatment to resolve lingering infections, relieve discomfort and preserve your natural tooth.
Retreatment involves reopening the tooth, cleaning out any new or remaining infection and resealing it with precision. This process can extend the life of your tooth and prevent the need for extraction or more complex procedures.
When Is Root Canal Retreatment Needed?
Several factors may make retreatment necessary, including:
- Persistent or returning pain in a treated tooth
- New decay or damage exposing the root canal
- A cracked or loose restoration compromising the seal
- Hidden or untreated canal spaces from the original procedure
- Delayed healing due to complex anatomy or infection
Our dentists use advanced imaging and microsurgical techniques to identify the root cause of the issue and provide effective treatment.
