Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an emergency dental visit with one of our great Wrangell dentists or endodontists for further treatments.
Root canal treatment 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 added to the tooth. In many cases, 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 health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk the loss of your teeth.
