Root Canal Retreatment in New York, NY
When a previous root canal has not healed or develops new problems, retreatment can save the tooth.
Why retreatment
Addressing a previously treated tooth
A root canal can sometimes fail to heal completely, or new decay or a crack can reintroduce bacteria into a treated tooth. Retreatment re-opens the tooth, removes the old filling material, re-cleans the canals, and reseals them.
Dr. Won uses a microscope to locate missed canals, unusual anatomy, or persistent infection that may have contributed to the original failure.
