Do Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to book an appointment with one of our great Garberville emergency dentists for a root canal retreatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then applied to the interior. Often, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the health of the tooth 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.
