Dear patient, In reference to the picture you attached, it looks like infectious boil. Please consult your dentist for the same. He might recommend a new course of antibiotics or might need pus drainage. Take care.

Deep cavity leads to infections and pus formation,visit the nearest dental clinic and get proper treatment.

According to the picture there is infection. Is there any decayed tooth adjacent to the root canal treated tooth? If it’s not there you need to take an xray to know whether the infection is from a decayed or from the old root canal treated tooth.

It is due to underlying local infection…RCT to be done

Hello, The clinical picture looks like there is inflammation associated with a sinus tract. This could be due to an underlying infection from the tooth. A clinical examination along with x ray would be helpful for identifying the source of infection.

Through diagnosis requires 2 d x ray image ,probably sinus infection along with decayed tooth probable requires root canal treatment,kindly visit Dental surgeon in person

Go to iopa xray to determine the cause of sinus . Without X-ray difficult to tell

Pls share an x ray or visit clinic for proper diagnosis

Its sinus tract due to infection may be with root canal tooth or the adjacent tooth either removal of tooth or rct of tooth as per the scenario

Please go for tooth xray to find out the source of infection….if it is due to previous root canal treatment then re trearment is required

The root canal might be failing and there might be the infection beneath the previously done root canal .
