Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Not seeking care means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our Chalkyitsik dentists for a root canal redo.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then added to the tooth. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a full restoration. 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 health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, do not risk the loss of your teeth.
