Hello. I am seeking advice. I have two calcified teeth, 10 & 25 shown in the attached x-rays. I have had two attempts at a root canals, endodontists cannot get through the calcification.

Info:
Caused by wakeboard crash trauma 1 year ago. The teeth chipped.
Never experienced pain after the crash.
X-rays identified calcification, the dentist said the tissue would eventually become infefected and recommended a root canal for each tooth. I said okay, we drilled half way into the teeth and found that we cannot pass the calcification. I am a rare case.

Based on the x-rays and limited info provided, can you offer any solutions to my issue?
Thank you,
Nathan

Why don't you ask the endodontists who tried to bypass the calcifications? They would know the intricacies of your tooth better than anyone.
