Do 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 need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an appointment with one of our knowledgeable Noatak dentists or endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. 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 tooth crown. 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 prognosis of the condition could be unpredictable. 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.
