What Is The Reason For The Root Canal Wound For Getting Healed?

hi, i really need a professional advice here.. i'm 19 years old, and i started to undergo root canal treatment since 17 but till now it's not healed. my dentist put braces on me for some root movement reasons, but it didn't work. now, my periapical abcess caused another abcess in my palate.. i was told that if root canal didn't work, my tooth have to be removed which i'm trying to avoid cause i already had my braces. Ma'am/ sir, what are the other ways to treat this abcess in my palate? and is it possible that it can form parasites? because lately i feel something foreign in it... what is your advice about this,, pls. help me what's the best thing to do..

Hello!Thank you for posting here.

Non healing root canal for two years suggests persisting infection which also spread to your palate and caused abscess.This can be pus oozing from the abscess you feel foreign inside it.Okay, your doctor was trying to treat it for so long.If your tooth has non healing infection, we suggest extraction.A root end surgery can be done to remove periapical infection.A bone graft may be necessary in some cases after surgery.A x-ray and clinical evaluation is necessary.
Get a root end surgery with retreatment of root canal which will completely eliminate infection.A month follow up is necessary after the surgery.

In case, pain still persists, this can happen if there is specific anatomy(unusual anatomy),fracture of root.Extraction must be done and you can go for a implant in the tooth socket immediately.

Regards.
