Dr. Jason Bigby is a graduate of the Univeristy of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Dental School. He completed a postgraduate residency in Endodontics at The Ohio State University, receiving a M.S. and a Certificate in Endodontics. He joined Endodontics South, Inc. in 2004 to deliver excellent, patient-centered endodontic care. When not in the office, he enjoys spending time with his family and golfing.
With the appropriate care, your teeth that have had endodontic treatment will last as long as other natural teeth. Yet, a tooth that has received treatment may fail to heal or pain may continue to exist. Sometimes, the pain may occur months or years after treatment. If so, Endodontic Retreatment may be needed. Once retreatment has been selected as a solution to your problem, the doctors will reopen your tooth to gain access to the root canal filling material. This restorative material will be removed to enable access to the root canal.
