Root canal treatment or any other treatment doesn't give guaranteed success,retreatment may be necessary to save the tooth and to eliminate any infection..if the tooth is strong in bone(periodontally sound) then re rct is the best treatment to save the tooth.extraction of the tooth is done when there is no other option left to eliminate the infection caused by tooth abscess.

Generally re treatment for RCT is less successful.if you don't want to extract you can get retirement which will be non surgical method.or to increase success rates you can get treated by surgical method

Hello, i think the hospital that you went was a government hospital or a charitable one. because no doctor in this world will wait for 1 month to start as it can lead to further complications like space infection. well that is a differnt story. lets come to tour problem. it can be done with re-rct with ease if the infection is for first time if it is a recurring procedure or any instrument breakage is there then may be we have to go for a minor periapical surgery ( surgery at root area of teeth). or otherwise one root can be saved. i mean at any cost your teeth can be saved. depending upon infection

Re Treatment or re-rct has a less favorable prognosis unless performed diligently. That's why your dentist may have used the term risky. If the abscess is severe then it can be drained surgically by giving an incision.

Get Re rct  done from endodontist. Thats best option. Because extraction at this young age should be last choice treatment cost for re rct is much less than replacing extracted tooth. Also no replacement would be as great as natural tooth so whenever possible save tooth . Just visit dentist n check whether tooth is not vertically fractured.

Hello, Re-treatment procedures if performed by an Endodontist has a better prognosis.Consult an Endodontist. Regards Dr Sumanmakam

Hello, Please visit an MDS ENDODONTIST. not a general dentist. Best option is to be conservative and try and save the tooth. There is no guarantee though. Second option should be to extract and put an implant there in same socket as you r very young. Bridge should be last option .

Re-RCT is the only treatment choice. Generally in more than 90% of the cases tooth becomes fine after Re-RCT. Re-RCT is required in cases when RCT has not been done properly before for example when a canal is not filled properly. If you go for extraction, replacement cost is more because in that case you will need a bridge of 3 teeth. Nothing compared to saving your natural tooth by Re-RCT.

Kindly visit endodontist MDS nearby your area for expert opinion.
