Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Not seeking care means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better 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 appointment with one of our great Chickaloon emergency dentists 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 known as gutta-percha is then added to the tooth. Usually, the tooth is then restored with a full restoration. 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 unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, do not risk tooth loss.
