Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means 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 a root canal. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to book an appointment with one of our knowledgeable Broomfield dentists or endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then administered. Often, the tooth is then restored with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be questionable. 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. Doctors Network can connect you with an urgent care center in Broomfield, CO that can offer additional treatment and accepts DentaQuest.
