Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. 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 a root canal. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our knowledgeable Ridgeway endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. 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 dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if there are complications with the procedure, the health of the tooth could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this, do not risk missing teeth.
