Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Not seeking care means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to book an appointment with one of our Primrose endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
A root canal 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 porcelain 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 compromised. 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.
