Do you think that it is possible to have the dental treatment? As my last dentist has now retired and i have found it difficult to find a dentist i can trust after all the problems i have suffered with my teeth. I also read that apicetomies have a low success rate. Could this be why infection keeps coming back, i hope to hear from you soon.
Kind regards

Hi
Hi
I’d recommend you to see a specialist endodontist to discuss the recurrent infection to your maxillary lateral incisor. Your medial history may have an influence. Yes apicectomies have a high failure rate – was the original root canal repeated before the apicectomy done? Let me know if you need a recommendation for a specialist endodontist.
All the best
