Hi everybody. I had an apico done on one tooth 7 months age. But, few days ago I’ve noticed a small pimple which appeared just near the site. I’ve visited my doc and he told me that the apico should now be done again or else I would loose the tooth. I mean, apico itself is not the problem but if it did not work first time, what is the chance that it will work now??? Even if I have another one could this problem happen again?
I think that an honest surgeon will tell you that each time an apico fails, there is less chance of success with each re-treatment. Therefore, I would advise you consider an independent second opinion at this time. Also, do proceed with some kind of treatment and do not leave a possible area of infection untreated. Hope this helps.
