Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Without care, 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 root canal therapy. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our knowledgeable Susitna endodontists for a root canal redo.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then added to the tooth. 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 is not successful, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth.
