is an esteemed Endodontist in Delray Beach, FL. If you've been wondering about the possibility of redoing a root canal, you're in the right place. Read on to learn about the procedure, its benefits, concerns about discomfort, and whether you might be a suitable candidate for root canal retreatment.
Root Canal Retreatment, or endodontic retreatment, is a procedure performed when a previously treated tooth exhibits signs of infection or pain. It involves revisiting the root canal system, removing the previous filling materials, and meticulously cleaning and disinfecting the canals. The tooth is then sealed again to prevent future infections. Dr. Yesenia Fernandez-Baez possesses the expertise and advanced techniques to precisely execute this complicated procedure.
Preserving Natural Teeth: Root canal retreatment aims to salvage and preserve your natural teeth, preventing the need for extraction.
Relief from Discomfort: The procedure addresses persistent pain or discomfort stemming from the previously treated tooth, ensuring lasting relief.
Avoiding Further Complications: Ignoring symptoms or signs of infection can lead to more severe dental issues. Retreatment prevents potential complications.
Dr. Yesenia Fernandez-Baez prioritizes your comfort throughout the entire procedure. Modern techniques, local anesthesia, and her gentle approach minimize discomfort. If you're anxious about the procedure, Dr. Fernandez-Baez offers sedation options to help you feel at ease.
You might be a candidate for root canal retreatment if:
You've experienced persistent pain, discomfort, or swelling in a previously treated tooth.
Your previous root canal treatment did not effectively eliminate the infection.
