Post-Root Canal Treatment Western MA

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

Went in on an emergency appointment for evaluation on a molar ended up getting a root canal which was done by Dr Scott. While I’m not nuts about dental visits, I have to say that this man certainly knows what he’s doing. Within 20 minutes of being in the chair, my pain was gone, and he was taking care of business. Now two days later I am still pain free and moving on with life. Very happy to have found this wonderful place. Thank you Dr.Scott!!!!

Today, May 13, I went in for a root canal. I was a bit nervous to begin with. BUT…from the moment Sura called me back, she started explaining everything that was going to happen throughout the whole appointment. Then the Doctor, Randolph Scott D.D.S. came in He was AMAZING as well. He also explained everything first and then did his job very well. They both made me feel so comfortable and before I knew it they were done. He and Sura told me that I would be sore. It’s almost been since the appointment, over eight hours and I have ZERO soreness, not even where he injected me. I have already recommended W MA Endo and I will continue to refer people. A VERY BIG SHOUT OUT TO SURA AND DOCTOR SCOTT! The best dental experience I’ve ever had by far! Thank you

I had an outstanding experience at this office from start to finish. Scheduling my root canal treatment was seamless, thanks to Joy, who was incredibly nice, friendly and attentive. Since I live nearly two hours away, she made sure everything was perfectly arranged before my visit. Elisa was wonderful, offering warm, friendly and great support throughout the process.Dr. Scott is truly exceptional—his expertise, patience, and care made a huge difference. The entire team answered all my questions with patience and went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. If you need a root canal treatment, this is the place to go!

Dr. Scott did a root canal for me today. Best dental procedure in my life! A little background on me and dental work, I haven’t had the best experiences and have a history of being difficult to get numb. Dr. Scott was awesome! I didn’t feel one ounce of pain. He is a complete professional and focused on doing a perfect job. He found a crack in my tooth no else told me about. The temp filling even covered the gap between teeth that has been trapping food, which I never told him about. He just instinctively knew to do the best job was to fill that gap. I will never go anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Scott!!!

Great experience all around- they were able to squeeze me in for evaluation because I was having pain and get me scheduled to get it fixed. The root canal was completely painless and I was in and out within 45mins.

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.
