Do Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The 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 Cedar Flat emergency dentists for a root canal retreatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then restored with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure is not successful, the health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience discomfort, do not risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dental services provider in Cedar Flat, CA that can offer additional treatment and accepts Cigna.
