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 may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. 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 schedule an appointment with one of our Alhambra Valley dentists or endodontists for further treatments.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. 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 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 pain when eating. If you experience this, do not risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find a dental office in Alhambra Valley, CA that can offer retreatment and accepts Aetna.
