Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Not seeking care means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The 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 knowledgeable Tahoe Vista 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, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. 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 there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can connect you with a dental office in Tahoe Vista, CA that can offer another root canal and accepts Aetna.
