Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, 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 find one of our Bismarck dentists or endodontists for further treatments.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. Often, the tooth is then restored with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure is not successful, the prognosis of the condition could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk tooth loss.
