What is a root canal?

A procedure to save your natural tooth by removing inflamed or infected tissue from inside a tooth. The inside of the tooth and root system are carefully cleaned, disinfected and sealed to help prevent future infection. It can relieve pain while allowing you to keep your natural smile. 

What is a re-treatment?

Occasionally, a tooth that has previously had a root canal may not heal as anticipated. Re-treatment involves re-opening the tooth, removing the previous filling material, and carefully cleaning and re-sealing the root canals again. 

What is an apicoectomy?

It is a minor surgical procedure used to save a tooth when infection or inflammation persists around the root tip after root canal treatment. During the procedure, a small portion of the root tip and surrounding tissue is removed and the end of the root is sealed. This allows the surrounding bone to heal while not impacting the restoration in the tooth and allowing the tooth to remain in place.
