If that happens to you, you\u2019ll probably want to know why retreatment is necessary. Luckily, your Mount Pleasant dentist is here to tell you. Read on to learn why your root canal might need retreatment and what you should expect from the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You Might Need Retreatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though rare, root canal retreatments are occasionally needed to preserve your oral health. In particular, you ought to get one if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Tooth Didn\u2019t Heal as Expected<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a slight chance your tooth won\u2019t heal correctly following a root canal. For example, if it has complicated canal anatomy, there might be untreated bacteria hiding in some of its structures. On the other hand, a tooth can get re-infected if there\u2019s a long delay between a root canal and crown placement. In some cases, the restoration may not completely seal the tooth and allow for salivary contamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New Problem is Threatening Your Tooth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if your tooth properly recovers from a successful root canal, it might face a new problem. Should that happen, treating the new issue might require redoing the original procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider tooth decay, for instance. If new decay forms near the treated area, it can expose the root canal\u2019s inner filling to bacteria and cause a new infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may need retreatment if your tooth suffers a new injury. If an accident causes your tooth or dental crown to crack, bacteria could re-infect the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You Should Expect During the Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A root canal retreatment would be very similar to your first procedure. It\u2019d start with your dentist numbing your mouth, followed by their removing your dental crown (if necessary) and reopening the tooth. From there, they\u2019d remove the canal filling and any previously-untreated or newly-infected tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The later steps of treatment would amount to a clean-up of sorts. After removing the infected tissues, your dentist will search for any other canals or unusual anatomy that need treatment. They&#8217;ll then disinfect, refill, and seal your tooth with a temporary filling or crown. You\u2019ll return to your dentist\u2019s office at a follow-up visit to have the final restoration placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While root canals are almost always successful, some patients will need retreatment. As you can see, though, you\u2019ll have nothing to fear even if you\u2019re one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cerecuse.com\/\">Creative Dental Concepts<\/a><\/u><\/em><em> is based in Syracuse, NY.
