Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to book an appointment with one of our Yosemite Valley dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
Root canal treatment 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 administered. Usually, the tooth is then restored 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 health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this, don’t risk tooth loss.
