Do 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 may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an emergency dental visit with one of our great Nathrop emergency dentists for further treatments.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material, AKA 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 there are complications with the procedure, 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 missing teeth.
