Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our great Castle Hill endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
Root canal treatment 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 applied to the interior. Often, the tooth is then capped 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 health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this, don’t risk missing teeth.
