Root Canal Re-Treatment in Clinton

Sometimes root canals that were done previously can get re-infected and it might need a retreatment. The primary reason for failure of root canal is persistent bacteria.

Most common reason for failure of previously done root canal can be one of the following:

  • A permanent filling and crown was not done in a timely manner causing leakage to the root canal system.
  • Previously treated root canal space was not sufficiently cleaned or has missed canal spaces.
  • Crack developing over time causing bacteria to re-enter the root space and hence causing infection.
  • Natural tooth structure becomes decayed and causes bacteria to re-enter the space causing infection.
