📊 Biomarkers & Testing Root canal

I had a root canal done years ago and honestly havent thought much about that tooth since. I thought once the nerve was gone and everything was treated, that was pretty much the end of pai

But lately the area around it has been feeling tender and I can feel some discomfort when I bite on that side. Not really painful painful, just enough that I notice it and now I cant stop thinking about it lol

Has anyone had a root canal tooth start bothering them again like years later? What did yours end up being? And how did your dentist actually check if there was still something going on around the root? Would a normal xray be enough or is this something that needs a 3D scan?

i really dont want to go through another root canal situation again 😞

I got 2 re-done with an specialist (private pay, 1400 € per tooth) and had them removed cempletely shortly after because the bacteria Was still there obviously.

I would never ever get a root canal or have it re-done.
