Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Not seeking care means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our Brighton dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then added to the tooth. Often, the tooth is then restored with a tooth crown. 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 compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk tooth loss.
