�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. Karn, Dr. Lund, Dr. Saylor, Dr. Papworth, Dr. Penaz, Dr. Schuweiler or Dr. Mieczkowski 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 doctors 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 either a temporary or permanent filling in the tooth.
At this point, you may need to return to your dentist as soon as possible in order to have a new crown or restoration placed on the tooth to restore full functionality. Your endodontist will the next step clear to you.

Dr Schuweiler was very generous with his time and offered me same-day treatment, after finding out I had traveled nearly 2 hours to the office for the initial consultation. I was the last patient out of the office that day and am very grateful for the willingness of the Dr and staff to accommodate me. I won't hesitate to return for treatment in the future.

Patient Review By Beth D
I had a difficult root canal and required additional treatment after, the root that went sideways in my tooth, was being difficult. Dr. Panaz did a rinse of the tooth. Willing to do other treatments before a surgical treatment.
