Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our Dot Lake dentists for additional endodontic treatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. Often, the tooth is then capped with a tooth crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure is not successful, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Dot Lake, AK that can offer additional treatment and accepts 1199.
