Dr. Mead and all I met who helped….JoAnne, Paula, Tina, Christina,….. wonderful people. Made me welcome, comfortable, and the center of their attention from start to finish. Courteous, friendly, informative, understanding, and most essential, caring. Plus, throughout it all, you get to stare at the fantastic ceilings of one of the most beautiful buildings in downtown Syracuse build in 1897. Not your normal dentist office! Highly recommended!

root canal therapy has an excellent track record

If a root canal is done before a tooth abscesses, the success rate is around 95-97%. Once a tooth has become infected the success rate of a perfectly done root canal drops to around 80%.
As you can see root canal therapy has an excellent track record, but it can fail. In this case, root canals can be retreated. The sealer material placed during the original root canal is removed, chamber is cleaned and disinfected and is re-sealed.
