Do 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 may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our knowledgeable Sheridan dentists or endodontists for further treatments.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then added to the tooth. In many cases, 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 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 the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an emergency dental services provider in Sheridan, CA that can offer additional treatment and accepts DentaQuest.
