Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our Waterloo dentists or 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, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. Usually, the tooth is then restored 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 prognosis of the condition could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dental services provider in Waterloo, CA that can offer another root canal and accepts Delta Dental.
