falling at an early age and not treating your teeth for 6-7 years leads to pus deposition beneath your root ....if at present your teeth is not mobile, you can undergo APICOECTOMY treatment to save your teeth.

Hi,,retreatment is possible provided the X-ray shows little amount of infection,,it does not have a good prognosis,so better get an X-ray done and get the tooth extracted if indicated,,there are many options like implant bridges etc.that totally look esthetic and are great replacements for missing teeth.
