Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to see one of our great Herlong endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. 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 full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the prognosis of the condition could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience discomfort, do not risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an emergency dental services provider in Herlong, CA that can offer retreatment and accepts Delta Dental.
