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 surrounding teeth. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to find one of our great Santa Susana 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. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk missing teeth.
