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 might need 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 requires additional care. You may need to see one of our great Blue Lake emergency dentists for a root canal redo.
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 applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then restored with a dental 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 unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this, don’t risk the loss of your teeth.
