Second opinion & dental re-treatment in Bhopal

Pain that stays or comes back, pain when you bite, swelling or a small pimple on the gum near the tooth, a bad taste, or the tooth turning dark. Sometimes there is no pain at all and the problem shows only on an X-ray, so a check with a digital X-ray gives a clear answer.

Mild soreness for a few days after a root canal sitting is common, and it usually settles with the medicine the dentist suggests. Pain that gets worse, lasts beyond a week or two, or comes with swelling is not normal and should be checked, even if the treatment was finished.

Yes, often. A repeat root canal, called re-RCT or retreatment, removes the old filling inside the tooth, cleans the canals again, including any that were missed, and seals them. Whether it can save your tooth depends on what the X-ray shows, and we tell you that honestly first.

In a widely cited review of 17 studies, about three in four re-treated root canals healed completely on X-ray (Ng and colleagues, International Endodontic Journal, 2008). Your own chances depend on the tooth, the cause of the failure and the bone around the root, which we check before advising you.

A root canal can fail years later if new decay reaches the root filling, an old crown or filling leaks and lets bacteria in, the tooth cracks, or a canal was left untreated. That is why a crown over the tooth and regular check-ups matter after a root canal.

If the root and the bone around it are healthy enough, saving your own tooth with a repeat root canal usually comes first: there is no surgery and nothing is removed. If the tooth cannot be saved, an implant or a bridge replaces it. We show you the X-ray and explain each option.

It depends on the tooth, how much needs to be redone, and whether you need a new crown. After the check-up and X-ray, we give you the plan and the exact cost in writing before anything starts, so there are no surprises. EMI is available on implants.

Keep the crown safe, avoid chewing on that side, and come in soon. A dark tooth under a crown often means decay, or a tooth that had a root canal earlier. We check it with an X-ray, treat the tooth if needed, then fix the crown back or make a new one that fits.

Often, yes. First we check whether only the crown or screw on top is loose, which is a simple fix. If the implant itself has failed, it is removed, the area is allowed to heal, and a new implant can usually be placed later. Our visiting oral surgeon joins when surgery is needed.

Usually, yes. Gums and bone change shape over the years, so a denture that once fitted well can become loose. It can often be relined to fit again. If it is old or worn, a new denture, or one held in place by implants, will feel much firmer.

Yes. You can come only for an opinion. We examine the tooth, explain what we find and what your options are, and give you the plan and the cost in writing. You take it home and decide. Starting treatment is always your choice.

RCT ke baad do-teen din halka dard ya sensitivity normal hai, aur doctor ki batayi dawai se theek ho jaata hai. Agar dard badhta jaye, ek-do hafte se zyada rahe, ya sujan aa jaye, to daant ka X-ray karwa kar check karwana zaroori hai. Hum digital X-ray se wajah dhoondte hain.

Ghabraiye nahi. Kai baar root canal dobara (re-RCT) karke daant bachaya ja sakta hai. Pehle X-ray se wajah dekhte hain, phir aapko saaf bataate hain ki daant bach sakta hai ya nahi, aur plan aur kharcha likhit mein dete hain.

Cap ko sambhal kar rakhiye, us taraf se mat chabaiye aur jaldi dikhaiye. Agar neeche ka daant theek hai to wahi cap dobara lag sakta hai. Nahi to pehle daant ka ilaj karke naya cap banaya jaata hai.
