Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Not seeking care means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. 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 Bodega Bay dentists for additional endodontic treatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then administered. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. 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 complications with eating. If you experience this, don’t risk the loss of your teeth.
