Root canal observation
My wife is having pain in her molar tooth since past one week due to which she is getting stress headaches.
Attached is the x-ray done yesterday, doctor suggested for re-root canal.
Looking for some consultation and proper guidance on how to proceed. Also wanted to check on pricing for the procedure.
History: root canal was done 4-5 years back on the same tooth.

Hi sir.. yeah the affected area requires a repeat root canal treatment as one of the canal is incompletely filled. Pain must be due to the persistent bacteria releasing toxins and creating pressure build up. Kindly practo consult for detailed treatment plan and discussion via phone call. Regards.
