RCT failed
I have a RCT in 2014. Now I observed there is swelling in gums under it. I went for checkup yesterday and according to x-ray the doctor told me there is tooth abscess in tip of root canal and she suggest me a re-treatment by adding that it is risky also and not assured if swelling will treated permanently. I want to ask if there is alternate treatment for this problem or if there is chance of permanent relief from this problem by re-treatment. Plz suggest
