Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Not seeking care means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, the ideal 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 book an online appointment with one of our great Petaluma Center endodontists for a root canal redo.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. Often, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. 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 pain when eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an urgent care center in Petaluma Center, CA that can offer retreatment and accepts DentaQuest.
