Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might 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 requires additional care. You may need to find one of our knowledgeable Knightsen dentists or endodontists for a root canal redo.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. 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 missing teeth.
