Could 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 to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to book an appointment with one of our Newcastle endodontists 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 dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. 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 pain when eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dentist in Newcastle, CA that can offer additional treatment and accepts United Healthcare.
