Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Not seeking care means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our Fairview emergency dentists for additional endodontic treatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then restored with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can connect you with an emergency dental services provider in Fairview, AK that can offer additional treatment and accepts 1199.
