I want to confirm tooth #8 (here in Canada we number our teeth differently), are you talking about your front tooth? How many teeth does your bridge replace? How deep is the "pocket", is there pus coming from the pocket? You may want to see a periodontist about the pocket before doing a retreat on the root canal. The periodontist can confirm whether the pocket is due to gum problems or tooth problems.
