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 may require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our great Plymouth endodontists for further treatments.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then added to the tooth. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. 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 complications with eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk the loss of your teeth.
