Dr. Joseph Breig performs root canals to treat painful infections of your tooth roots and help you avoid extractions. If you have a root canal treatment performed by a less experienced practitioner or have complex tooth roots, you may require root canal re-treatments later. Your canals may be narrow or curved, making some areas of infection hard to spot. These areas may not be sanitized fully the first time. Even when your procedure is done correctly, new decay may develop or a flaw in a filling can cause re-infection of the tooth. As a result, you can continue to suffer root canal pain for months or even years! Dr. Breig is the reliable expert for root canal re-treatments in Lutz, FL. In fact, as an endodontist, he specializes in root canals and all related treatments. He’s empowered by years of additional training beyond dental school. What’s more, he uses advanced technology and techniques—an operating microscope and 3D imaging—that help him complete your root canal treatment correctly the first time. When needed, these also enable him to provide effective re-treatment.
