Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. 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. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. 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 great Boonville dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
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, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a porcelain 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 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.
