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 require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to see one of our knowledgeable Malaga 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 with care, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then administered. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a tooth crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. 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, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can help you find a dental office in Malaga, CA that can offer retreatment and accepts Guardian.
