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 surrounding teeth. If posible, the ideal 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 schedule an appointment with one of our Pala dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then administered. 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 is not successful, the health of the tooth could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, do not risk the loss of your teeth.
