Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, 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 find one of our Huslia dentists or endodontists for further treatments.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a tooth 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 compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, do not risk missing teeth.
