My front teeth are the ones that have had the worst root canals and the crooked cracked roots.
In my case the granulation tissue is slightly visible because it pokes out ever so slightly- looks like my gum is slightly redder in between these two teeth.
It shows up clearly in my xrays. looks like slightly paler than surrounding tissue. I can feel it in my gums. that area is puffier- and kept getting puffier over the years until it flared up the last time.
The procedure involved gum flap resection. Apical treatment (which involves placing some kind of a heated glass? or amalgam? filling in the end of the root.
Ask your endo about an apical root filling.
make him explain it to you. Tell him one of your bloved friends had it and has had VERY good results. If he doesn't do it, ask him for a referral for an oral surgeon (my oral surgeon was such a sweetie- probably because he also does a lot of cosmetic surgery too!)
