Pain 1 year after root canal
I had a root canal 1 year back, now it started paining again, the pain was unbearable
So i consulted the doctor, he took the xray and said there's reinfection and we have to do re root canal
While i consulted another doctor in the morning they suggested that the tooth needs to be removed, re root canal won't help
Should I get the tooth removed or try re root canal
I have no doubts on the experienced doctors but i don't want to lose a tooth and just taking a suggestion

Hi
Always try to preserve the tooth first, you can go for re rct if it doesn’t work then extraction has to be done.
Also attach an RVG or IOPA of the tooth for better evaluation.
