Do Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The 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 great Brooklyn dentists for a root canal retreatment.
Root canal treatment 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. Usually, the tooth is then restored with a porcelain crown. 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 health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk tooth loss.
