Do Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our knowledgeable Lochbuie dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a tooth crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if the procedure does not go as expected, 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 this, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an endodontist in Lochbuie, CO that can offer another root canal and accepts private patients.
