Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to find one of our knowledgeable Somis dentists for further treatments.
A root canal 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. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a tooth crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. 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 this type of discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth.
