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 might need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our great Plymouth dentists or endodontists for further treatments.
A root canal 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 applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then restored with a tooth crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. 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 complications with eating. If you experience discomfort, do not risk tooth loss.
