Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to see one of our knowledgeable Penryn dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
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 known as 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 look natural. But if the procedure is not successful, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an urgent care center in Penryn, CA that can offer retreatment and accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.
