Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to see one of our Denver endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then administered. 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 there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk missing teeth.
