Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Not seeking care means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. 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 Taft Mosswood dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. 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 capped with a tooth crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if the procedure is not successful, the health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, don’t risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can connect you with an urgent care center in Taft Mosswood, CA that can offer additional treatment and accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.
