What Is a Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges.

At the center of your tooth is the pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks, and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature or pain in the tooth, and gums.

Why Would I need Root Canal Retreatment?

With the appropriate care, your teeth that have had endodontic treatment will last as long as other natural teeth. Yet, a tooth that has received treatment may fail to heal or pain may continue to exist. Sometimes, the pain may occur months or years after treatment. If so, Endodontic Retreatment may be needed.


  • Persistent pain or discomfort in the treated tooth, especially when biting or chewing.
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers even after the stimulus is removed.
  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums near the treated tooth.
  • Discoloration or darkening of the tooth over time.
  • Development of a small bump or pimple-like area on the gum that may release fluid.
