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 might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our Whitestone Logging Camp dentists for additional endodontic treatment.
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, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. Often, the tooth is then restored with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the prognosis of the condition could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk tooth loss.
