Do Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. 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 Los Alamos endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
A root canal 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 administered. Often, the tooth is then restored with a full restoration. 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 complications with eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an urgent care center in Los Alamos, CA that can offer additional treatment and accepts Cigna.
