Do Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The 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 Tahoma dentists for additional endodontic treatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then added to the tooth. Often, the tooth is then restored with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, don’t risk missing teeth.
