Hi! My question is this: I had a retreat on this molar Nov.9th; prior to that I had gotten a root canal on that tooth 9 months earlier, but it never stopped bothering me...my question/dilemma is this: the endondtist who did the retreat on that tooth (on Nov. 9th) said he'd redo it for free. The tooth HAS gotten better; there is still a sensitivity when I chew on that side of my mouth; and I have a light ache on and off...I am scheduled to go back next Friday morning. I did kind of feel the tooth is healing...but I have no idea if this is just wishful thinking, or what. If I get the tooth retreated next Friday, will I run a great risk of screwing up any progress I've made with the 2nd root canal (The 2nd time around, the endondtist found a 4th canal that was missed the first time around). Now, the tooth mildly aches, and I have to chew ginerly; but I don't feel the terrible pain I used to feel. I am conflicted; I can get the tooth retreated for free; but will it make things worse...or will things stay basically the same (pain, then gradual healing). I would appreciate any advice you might have out there. Sincerely, Debbie
