A member asked:
Are there any ways to reverse root resorption?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is important to try and find the underlying cause so that further damage may be avoided. The lost root structure will not grow back, but, a dentist could help you protect the remaining root structure and so prevent or delay the loss of your tooth.
