How to manage infection in a root canal-treated tooth?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have an infection in the tip of my root canal-treated tooth, which was done about 20 years ago. What could be the reason?

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern.

Your X-ray would have further been helpful for me in commenting on anything. If you are not satisfied with your present dentist's diagnosis, I would rather suggest you get it physically checked by another dentist before any permanent changes are done.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
