Do Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, the ideal 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 see one of our great Nenana dentists or endodontists for further treatments.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. Often, the tooth is then capped with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the health of the tooth could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dental services provider in Nenana, AK that can offer additional treatment and accepts Aetna.
