With the appropriate after-treatment care, teeth that have had endodontic treatment should last as long as other natural teeth. Yet, a tooth that has received treatment may fail to heal or pain may continue to exist. Sometimes the pain may occur months or years after treatment. If so, endodontic retreatment may be needed.
