Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our Shelter Cove endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. 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 full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, don’t risk missing teeth.
