Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our Littlerock dentists or endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
A root canal 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 administered. Often, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure is not successful, the prognosis of the condition could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Littlerock, CA that can offer another root canal and accepts Medicaid.
