Dear Sir/Madam,
Many years ago (at least more than 15 years ago) I had an apicoectomy on the upper right lateral incisor, which has a ceramic crown. For more than a month now I have had pain in the gum above the tooth, and the area is also swollen. I would like to know what can be done in this case, because something is obviously happening. The X-ray does not show anything unusual. Thank you for your answer and kind regards.

Dear Sir/Madam!

We can help you in several ways:
-repeat root canal treatment is the most basic and conservative solution. Removal of the old root filling, application of medicated dressings and refilling usually require three to four visits.
-repeat apicoectomy
-removal of the tooth, making a bridge or, preferably, placing an implant are reliable solutions and at the same time remove the focus represented by the affected tooth.
We can decide on the type of treatment after a clinical examination and X-ray.

Have a nice day!
