Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Without care, 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 root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to find one of our East Tulare Villa dentists or endodontists for a root canal redo.
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, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. Often, 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 is not successful, the prognosis of the condition could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk tooth loss.
