Posted:  Oct 03 2007 16:54
I was wondering if anyone has ever had to have a root canal retreated.  My dentist is Dr. Karl Jobst and he recently retreated a molar that was orginally done 5 years ago. It had been hurting really bad. Dr. Jobst retreated it and it has never bothered me since, he has always done a great job for me. Dr. Jobst said it had re-infected. Wondering how it re-infects. Oh well it dosen't hurt anymore I think he must have shot it with a silver bullet because it was really hurting.

i feel of u i am dentist and from my little experiance i can tell u that the retreatment of root canal treatment is very difficult and has high failure rate .but in this case u should go under followup every 6 months if the condition become worst i advice u to extract it and goother option which is implantnull
