Do Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, 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 find one of our Denver dentists or endodontists for a root canal redo.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the prognosis of the condition could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an endodontist in Denver, CO that can offer additional treatment and accepts new patients.
