Has your root canal failed? Does the treatment need to be redone? These cases are the core working area of an endodontist with specialist training who is a member of the European Society of Endodontology (ESE) and the American Association of Endodontists (AAE).
Has another clinic recommended extraction? It is worth a second opinion from an endodontist before a tooth is removed.
Retreatment and micro-surgeryA previous root canal may have failed — missed canal anatomy, persistent infection, a separated instrument, or an inadequate seal. Retreatment removes the earlier work and replaces it with the correct procedure. A failed root canal does not mean you have to lose the tooth.
The tooth-preservation principle: before any extraction is agreed, please seek a second opinion from an endodontist. Every tooth retained leaves a stronger long-term foundation, including for any future implant.
