Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our Minto dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then restored with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the prognosis of the condition could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this, do not risk the loss of your teeth.
