I have an infection under a tooth I had a root canal on about 15 years ago. Dentist is sending me to an endodontist to see about getting a retreat root canal - meaning a root canal on a tooth that already had a root canal done to it.
Anyone have this done? I've done some research on the internet and doesn't look fun :) Your advice and/or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
