Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. 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 treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our Knightsen endodontists for further treatments.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk tooth loss.
