Could Root Canals Ever Benefit From Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is necessary. Not seeking care means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, a better 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 see one of our Malaga endodontists for a root canal redo.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then applied to the interior. 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 questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this, don’t risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dentist in Malaga, CA that can offer retreatment and accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.
