Do Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our Stepping Stone dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then applied to the interior. 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 the procedure is not successful, 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, do not risk tooth loss.
