Dr. Lina Li at Precision Family Dental in Hilliard, OH Offers Endodontic Retreatment for Root Canals Gone Wrong

Root canals performed by endodontists (root canal specialists) have a 95% success rate. With proper care, most teeth that have had endodontic treatment can last as long as other natural teeth. In some cases, however, a tooth that has received endodontic treatment fails to heal. When left untreated, this can become painful or diseased months or even years after treatment. At Precision Family Dental, Dr. Lina Li can provide patients with a second chance to save your tooth.

As it occasionally happens with any dental or medical procedure, a tooth may not heal as expected after initial treatment for a variety of reasons. Narrow or curved canals were not treated during the initial procedure, complicated canal anatomy went undetected in the first procedure, the placement of the crown or other restoration was delayed following the endodontic treatment or the restoration did not prevent salivary contamination to the inside of the tooth.

During retreatment, Dr. Lina Li at Precision Family Dental will reopen your tooth and remove the filling materials that were placed in the root canals during the first procedure. She will then carefully examine the tooth, looking for additional canals or new infection. She will then remove any infection, clean and shape the canals and place new filling materials. The opening is then sealed with a temporary filling. Once the tooth heals, a new crown or other restoration is placed on the tooth to protect it.
