Root canal therapy involves carefully accessing the canal system inside the tooth to remove infected nerve tissue, eliminate harmful bacteria, and seal the space to protect it from future infection. This treatment is performed to restore a “sick” tooth, relieving pain and stopping the spread of infection so the tooth can be preserved and returned to health.

Retreatment is the process of removing old root canal material from inside the tooth, thoroughly disinfecting the canals, and re-sealing the roots for long-term protection. Since root canals can occasionally fail or become re-infected over time, this procedure removes the source of infection and helps maintain the health and function of the tooth.

An apicoectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes the tip of a tooth’s root where infection is present. This approach directly targets the infected area when existing restorations make retreatment impossible, helping preserve the natural tooth and restore oral health.
