Do Root Canals Ever Benefit From Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This 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 knowledgeable Monte Rio endodontists for a root canal redo.
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. Often, the tooth is then capped with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an urgent care center in Monte Rio, CA that can offer retreatment and accepts Delta Dental.
