Re-Root Canal in Kolkata

When a tooth previously treated with a root canal gets infected again, re-root canal treatment offers a second chance to save it. During this dental procedure, a dentist removes the old filling, disinfects the canals, and reseals the tooth to restore its health. This process requires expertise to assure long-term success and prevent further complications.

Is It Time for a Re-Root Canal Treatment?

Wondering if your tooth needs a second look? Your body has ways of telling you when something is wrong. Watch for:

Persistent pain in a root canal treated tooth and surrounding gums.
Pain while chewing or sensitivity to pressure.
Swelling or tenderness in the gum tissue around the tooth.

Formation of a new abscess near the tooth or pus drainage from treated tooth.
Discolouration or darkening of the treated tooth. If it is not covered with a crown (cap), then discolouration can be seen visibly.

If you experience any of these symptoms, consult with our dentist immediately to determine if a re-root canal treatment is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a re-root canal treatment cost?

Generally, re-root canal treatment costs more than the initial root canal procedure because they are more complex. Your dentist will provide you an estimate based on your specific case.

Why choose re-root canal treatment over extracting a tooth and getting a dental implant?

Re-root canal treatment

Preserve the natural tooth
It is less invasive
Costs less than a dental implant

It involves a quicker recovery with minimal discomfort. While re-root canal treatment has a high success rate, dental implants are recommended if the tooth is severely damaged or repetitively fails.

Will I experience pain during the procedure?

No. The dentist uses local anesthesia to numb the area, minimise discomfort during the procedure, and ensure a virtually painless procedure.

Is a re-root canal as successful as the initial one?

The re-root canal treatment at our Smile and Profile clinic has a good success rate. But, you may have to follow up with your dentist often to maintain its effectiveness.

Do I need antibiotics after a re-root canal treatment?

Your dentist will determine if antibiotics are necessary based on the severity of the infection.

What are the risks of re-root canal treatment?

Risks are minimal but may include temporary discomfort, and in rare cases, the infection may not be resolved completely.

Is a crown always necessary after a re-root canal treatment?

Yes. A crown is generally recommended to protect the weakened tooth structure and prevent future fractures. Sometimes, a new crown is needed to preserve the existing crown.
