Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. 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 Chickaloon dentists or endodontists for further treatments.
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. Usually, 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 there are complications with the procedure, the health of the tooth could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an emergency dental services provider in Chickaloon, AK that can offer additional treatment and accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.
