OVERVIEW OF TREATMENT
Quite a few things may result in additional problems following a root canal therapy. Sometimes the entire problem wasn't eliminated during therapy and in different cases, a new infection might have developed in the tooth. After the tooth demonstrates signs of disease again, our team of endodontic specialists will normally recommend an endodontic retreatment.
COMMON REASONS FOR RETREATMENT
• Abscess or other signs of disease still present following a root canal
• Recurring discomfort or pain in the tooth that received root canal therapy
• Accessory canals were not detected during the initial root canal procedure
• Failure to have a crown or other dental restoration placed in a timely manner following initial root canal treatment
Western Mass Endo Reviews
My dentist recommended this practice as there are only a few in network endos available for my insurance. I traveled from Albany NY and they were super accommodating after a misunderstanding on my part. Everyone was professional and kind. Dr. Scott was amazing, he explained everything and it feels so good to no longer have a toothache My first root canal was not as bad as I thought it would be, but I am relieved it’s over.
I can not say enough good things about the staff and Dr. Saltzman. They helped me get into the office for a root canal that had been bothering me for weeks. I am a nervous patient. They were so kind, patient, and explained everything. I truly highly recommend!
This is my second time using their services and both times were 5 star experiences. The last and most recent experience was an emergency root canal. The entire staff - from the receptionist, nursing staff, and Dr. Shapiro - was professional, helpful, and empathetic. I went to the office on a Monday morning after suffering through a miserable weekend, and they were able to get me in that day to perform a root canal. This place is fabulous!
Dr. Shapiro is a magician. He is kind, caring, and shows genuine concern for your comfort and well-being. He is a phenomenal endodontist that is highly skilled at his craft. This practice is accommodating and seems to truly care about its patients, and I cannot say enough good things about it.
Today’s procedure ( osseous surgery ) was no different than my other dental procedures at Western Ma. Perio. I was nervous & Dr. Salzmann provided the reassurance!He is genuinely compassionate , caring & professional. Dr. Salzmann & his entire team provide exceptional skilled services…talking you through each step of the procedure. If there is an award for exceptional performance, it should be presented to Dr. Salzmann ! Thank you .

UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS
If endodontic retreatment isn’t ideal, our specialists may recommend additional procedures to treat the condition and save your oral health:
• Apicoectomy
• Tooth extraction
Your endodontic retreatment procedure will be done in our office using anesthesia to temporarily numb the needed region. In the event the process is lengthy or if you have dental worries, stronger sedation choices might be used. As soon as you are prepared, one of our specialists will open the tooth and then take out the filling substance placed in the last process. The inside of the tooth, especially each of the root tips, will be completely disinfected. Once the tooth is cleaned and analyzed, it'll be fortified with a new temporary filling and then sealed.
A new restoration (crown, filling, or bridge) is then normally placed on the treated tooth by your general dentist to protect and strengthen the tooth structure.
