Do 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 extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The 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 great Occidental dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then administered. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a dental 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 questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk missing teeth.
