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 need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our Millville dentists for a root canal redo.
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 blend with the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an endodontist in Millville, CA that can offer another root canal and accepts Medicaid.
