Do you have a tooth which has had root canal treatment but still bothers you? Your tooth may have a hidden canal which was not located and treated during root canal treatment. After the canals are cleaned, the tooth is again filled with gutta-percha, and the canals are sealed. A temporary filling is placed in the tooth. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the affected area and relieves any pain and discomfort. The anesthesia also helps patients relax.
A follow-up appointment will be needed to permanently restore, using a crown or other material, the tooth, allowing it to function fully, and protecting it against future infection or decay.
Baja Endodontics can diagnose and treat your situation and return your tooth back to being comfortable.
