Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our knowledgeable Lompico 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 cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. 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 unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, do not risk tooth loss.
