Dr. Katie To explains how to find infection after a failed root canal is removed. Ozone therapy and laser treatment can kill microbes in the extraction socket without antibiotics. A diagnostic test measures bio-energy return to confirm the infection has cleared.
If you had a failed root canal and had it removed, is there infection from it? How do you find it? Is it only in the mouth or somewhere else? How do you get rid of it, preferably without antibiotics? This is a great question. So, failed root canal depends on how long ago you had the tooth removed. Failed root canals happen, and I think it's a pretty large amount of teeth that do have root canals that fail eventually. And so, as you extract that tooth, We would want that you to have the ozone and some laser. The ozone gets rid of the pathogens that are down in the socket, and then if you can, you can do testing as well to see, okay, did that did the energy come back in that tooth?
