Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, 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 emergency dental visit with one of our great Stebbins dentists or endodontists for a root canal redo.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of 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 complications with eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk tooth loss.
