Do Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. The 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 Clay dentists for a root canal retreatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a tooth 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 health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an urgent care center in Clay, AL that can offer retreatment and accepts new patients.
