If the root canal failed, you can go for re-rct of your tooth. That is necessary to prevent the adjacent tooth from getting damaged.

So in your case, it either has to be done again or the tooth may have to be extracted.

Hi the doctor was correct in telling you that the root canal treatment has failed. You can either go for re-rct or get the tooth extracted.
