Endodontic 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, Dr. Day may need to perform Endodontic Retreatment.
Improper healing may be caused by:
- Curved or narrow canals that were not treated during the initial treatment.
- Complicated canals that went undetected during the initial treatment.
- The crown or restoration was not placed within the appropriate amount of time following the procedure.
- The crown or restoration that did not prevent saliva from contaminating the inside of the tooth.
Inflamed Tissue
Filling Removed
Canals Cleaned
Root Material Placed
Filling Restored
Healed Tooth
In some cases, new problems can influence a tooth that was successfully treated:
- New decay can expose a root canal filling material, causing infection.
- A cracked or loose filling or crown can expose the tooth to new infection.
Once retreatment has been selected as a solution to your problem, the doctors will reopen your tooth to gain access to the root canal filling material. This restorative material will be removed to enable access to the root canal. The doctors will now clean your canals and carefully examine the inside of the problematic tooth. Once cleaned, the doctors will fill and seal the canals and place a temporary filling in the tooth.
At this point, you will need to return to your dentist as soon as possible in order to have a new crown or restoration placed on the tooth to restore full functionality.

This was my first root canal and I chose this office as I had heard nothing but good about them and the procedure could not have went better! From front office staff to Dr. Day, they were awesome and I would recommend them to anyone and I would choose to go back if ever needed! She answered any and all questions thoroughly, nice calming/relaxing atmosphere and K-Love played on the radio which was awesome! Overall great experience!!

Dr. Day and her staff were exceptional. They were very friendly and it is obvious they have a great working relationship and care very much about their patients. Also, receiving a follow up call the next day to check on me was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated.

Dr.Day and her staff are FANTASTIC! I was so nervous going in to have a root canal done, they made sure to answer any questions that i had before even beginning the procedure. I was debating literally up until an hour before the appt wether i was going to go or cancel. I am so glad that i didnt cancel and i just went and got it done. i was worried about pain afterwards and i have had no pain at all aside from my jaw being a little sore just from holding it open for the procedure. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr.Day to anyone who needs a root canal done!

I never once felt the pain of the needle for numbing. I barely felt anything at all while she was doing the procedure. I think this is the best place that I've been to in a long time. I have never been to a dentist and not felt pain before. With leaving her office, I barely felt any pain what so ever. I appreciate the kindness and all the work she has done.

I was extremely nervous about having a root canal. I had never had one done before. The entire staff and Dr. Day were so kind in explaining what they were going to do and checking in to make sure I was comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend this facility if you ever need a root canal done.

I got the appointment I need very fast, the root canal was not painful at all. If you have ever had a tooth filled, having a root canal is exactly the same. even after numbness was gone there wasn't any pain. Dr. Day does a great job. Thank you
