I have had a failed root canal treatment. The endodontist removed it and bleached it and then sealed it up again. He said I would need a dental crown, but that I should leave it for a few months as there was a danger the infection would return, in which case I will have wasted my money on the crown. Two months later the thing has started to hurt again, so I’m pretty sure that it has become infected again. Does this mean that tooth extraction is now inevitable?And once the tooth is gone, can I be sure there il be no recurrence of infection?I would like an implant, but not if thre was a cance of infection under it. How long after extraction should n implant be carried ut, if the tooth is infected? Thank you for your time and I hope you can help.
