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.

Sorry to here about you infected root canal your dr must be good Endodontist because it is hard to re treat a infected root canal Infected root canals have a deleterious effect on the immune system permitting the development of many degenerative diseases including heart disease, arthritis, kidney disease, blood stream infections, subacute bacterial endocarditis, phlebitis, anemia, leukopenia (low white blood cell count), back, neck and shoulder pain, neuritis etc.
