Could Root Canals Ever Benefit From Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our Big Delta dentists for additional endodontic treatment.
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. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if the procedure is not successful, the health of the tooth could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, do not risk the loss of your teeth.
