Do 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 require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. 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 knowledgeable Tazlina emergency dentists for further treatments.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. 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 health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk the loss of your teeth.
