Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Not seeking care means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an appointment with one of our great Cobb dentists or endodontists for further treatments.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. 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 complications with eating. If you experience this, do not risk tooth loss.
