Could Root Canals Need Retreatment?
When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, a better 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 see one of our Boulder dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. 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 restored with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure is not successful, the health of the tooth could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in Boulder, CO that can offer retreatment and accepts new patients.
