Diamonds last forever. Dental treatments may not. That does not mean the treatments are not valuable. Potentially complex treatments, such as root canals, can be effective even if they need to be done a second time. Endodontic retreatment offers another chance to natural teeth previously saved with a root canal. If a tooth treated with a root canal becomes sore or painful, even months or years later, see your endodontist immediately.

Have you recently undergone dental surgery and noticed something odd in your mouth? You feel it, and you don’t know what it is. If it feels like there’s something small and bothersome lingering, it might be dissolvable stitches hanging in your mouth. While this can feel unsettling, there’s no need to worry about it. This is usually told to patients before surgery, but there’s hearing about it versus dealing with it.
