Could Root Canals Ever Benefit From Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. Often, a better 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 see one of our knowledgeable Somis dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the prognosis of the condition could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this, do not risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with a dental office in Somis, CA that can offer additional treatment and accepts private patients.
If you don’t have dental insurance don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a membership plan to make care affordable. With a monthly membership fee, you can undergo necessary root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!
