You thought the pain was over after your root canal. But weeks—maybe months—later, it’s still there. You might notice swelling, tenderness when you bite, or even a dark spot on your X-ray. This isn’t “just how it is”—it’s a failed root canal, and it can be fixed. At KYT Dental Services, we uncover the real reason your tooth didn’t heal—hidden infection, a missed canal, or a crack under pressure—and repair it so the pain doesn’t come back.
Incompletely Cleaned
Bacteria left behind keeps the infection alive.
🧭 Hidden/extra canals were never found or cleaned 🦠 Persistent infection shows as a dark spot on X-ray 🧪 Inadequate irrigation/seal lets bacteria sneak back 🔁 Symptoms return weeks, months or years later
Bottom Line: We use advanced imaging to find every problem area and remove infection completely, restoring the tooth to full health.
Hidden Cracks
Microscopic fractures let bacteria re-enter.
🩹 Pain when biting or releasing pressure 🔎 Cracks too small for standard X-rays to show 🦷 Infection tracks along the crack to the root tip ⚠️ Can compromise the crown and underlying tooth
Bottom Line: We identify hidden fractures early and provide the most reliable, long-term fix for your specific case.
Occlusal Trauma
An uneven bite can undo good treatment.
🍽 Heavy contacts reopen the seal 💢 Tenderness when chewing or tapping the tooth 🌙 Night grinding/clenching overloads the treated tooth 🧱 Can chip the crown or propagate cracks
Bottom Line: We rebalance your bite and protect the area so your repair lasts—without recurring pain.

“After two dentists told me my pain was ‘normal,’ KYT found the real cause. No more swelling, no more ache — and I can finally bite without fear. I wish I came here first.” – P.M., Patient
