Can Root Canal Treatment For A Tooth Be Done Twice?
I had a root canal on #3 tooth. After a few years the tooth began to hurt and the tooth was retreated in 2006. All has been fine until about a month ago. Monday's X-ray revealed problem with same tooth again. Can a tooth be retreated twice? I have appt with endo on Thursday.
hi welcome to HCM Yes tooth can be treated twice depending upon the condition of tooth. your x ray will reveal the status of your tooth, if it has been damaged much and only RCT will not work then you can go for post and core. if the treatement is succesfull then you should also go for crown placement which will enhance the life of your tooth. hope it will help you thank you
