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 may require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our knowledgeable Broomfield dentists or endodontists for a root canal redo.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this, don’t risk the loss of your teeth.
