Infection: If the infection is not responding to your root canal treatment and your medication regimen, it's probably time to be reevaluated by an Endodontist, a root canal specialist. Although most root canal treatments in the anterior are successful, some require a specialist's training, equipment, and understanding. Ask your Dentist for a referral.
