Hi .. ur tooth can undergo a Re-RCT provided ur previous RCT procedure on the same tooth did not create any obstruction or blockages.. if not, please go for it.. An Endodontist maybe required.

Please post an x-ray of the tooth after the root canal treatment was over for us to give a better opinion. Re RCT can always be done for a tooth if it was not done correctly earlier or has got Re infected. Extraction will not be a preferred treatment modality unless the damage to the tooth is Irreversible. Saving a natural tooth is always the priority.
