Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Not seeking care means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our great New Castle endodontists 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 capped with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of 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 discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, do not risk the loss of your teeth.
