Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, the ideal 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 find one of our Selawik dentists for a root canal redo.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk tooth loss.
