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 might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. 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 online appointment with one of our Starkville emergency dentists for additional endodontic treatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then applied to the interior. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this, don’t risk missing teeth.
