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 other parts of the smile. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an emergency dental visit with one of our knowledgeable Klukwan dentists for further treatments.
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 administered. Often, the tooth is then restored with a porcelain 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 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.
