Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Without care, 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, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This 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 knowledgeable Susitna dentists or endodontists for a root canal redo.
Root canal treatment 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 applied to the interior. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. 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 unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this, don’t risk the loss of your teeth.
