Do Root Canals Ever Benefit From Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to book an appointment with one of our great Seward endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. Often, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, don’t risk the loss of your teeth.
