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 may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our great Minkler endodontists for a root canal redo.
A root canal 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. Often, the tooth is then restored 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 prognosis of the condition could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an urgent care center in Minkler, CA that can offer additional treatment and accepts Aetna.
