Could Root Canals Ever Benefit From Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is necessary. Without care, 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. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an emergency dental visit with one of our Quinhagak dentists or endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as 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 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 type of discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an endodontist in Quinhagak, AK that can offer additional treatment and accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.
