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 need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to see one of our great Nucla dentists or endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, 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, do not risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can connect you with an urgent care center in Nucla, CO that can offer additional treatment and accepts new patients.
