Do Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our great Sultana endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then applied to the interior. In many cases, the tooth is then capped 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 health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth.
