Endodontic Retreatment
With the appropriate care, your teeth that have had endodontic treatment will last as long as other natural teeth. Yet, a tooth that has received treatment may fail to heal or pain may continue to exist. Sometimes, the pain may occur months or years after treatment. If so, Dr. Marmo may need to perform endodontic retreatment.
Improper healing may be caused by:
- Curved or narrow canals that were not treated during the initial treatment.
- Complicated canals that went undetected during the initial treatment.
- The crown or restoration was not placed within the appropriate amount of time following the procedure.
- The crown or restoration that did not prevent saliva from contaminating the inside of the tooth.
Inflamed Tissue
Filling Removed
Canals Cleaned
Root Material Placed
Filling Restored
Healed Tooth
In some cases, new problems can influence a tooth that was successfully treated:
- New decay can expose a root canal filling material, causing infection.
- A cracked or loose filling or crown can expose the tooth to new infection.
Once retreatment has been selected as a solution to your problem, the doctor will reopen your tooth to gain access to the root canal filling material. This restorative material will be removed to enable access to the root canal. The doctor will now clean your canals and carefully examine the inside of the problematic tooth. Once cleaned, the doctor will fill and seal the canals and place a temporary filling in the tooth.
At this point, you will need to return to your dentist to have a new crown or restoration placed on the tooth to restore full functionality.

Dr. Marmo is one of the nicest doctors I have ever seen, and I am someone with chronic health issues so I’ve seen a lot of doctors! He is friendly, patient, and reassuring. The staff was all very helpful and worked to get me into an appointment within a week of me calling because they cared about resolving my discomfort. Every interaction I have had with this office has been superb. I don’t even like the dentist but I wouldn’t mind coming back!

As a “Dentalphobe”, the thought of having any procedure, let alone a root canal, without nitrous oxide is terrifying. Dr. Marmo and his staff are amazing, and are able to get me through. Very gentle, very caring, in a very soothing environment.
