Endodontic Retreatment, Ponte Vedra Beach FL
Pain In Tooth After Root Canal
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, Endodontic Retreatment may be needed.
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.

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, Dr. Mavec 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 doctors will now clean your canals and carefully examine the inside of the problematic tooth. Once cleaned, the doctors 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 as soon as possible in order to have a new dental crown or restoration placed on the tooth to restore full functionality.
Call us if you are experiencing any tooth pain, have any questions, or to make an appointment with Dr. Mavec.

Ponte Vedra Endodontics
Patient Review by Edna G
Everyone at Ponte Vedra Endodontics took extra care to ensure I was comfortable. From the massage dental chair to headphones to help me concentrate on anything except what was happening in my mouth ensured I had a great experience, considering why i was there. There was no pain and once I understood that noise does not equal pain, I could relax and let them do their job. I would recommend patients use Ponte Vedra Endodontics should the need arise.
