Do Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our knowledgeable Goldfield dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material, AKA 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 look natural. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the health of the tooth 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 tooth loss. Doctors Network can help you find a dental office in Goldfield, CO that can offer additional treatment and accepts new patients.
