Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The 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 knowledgeable Plymouth dentists for additional endodontic treatment.
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 added to the tooth. Usually, the tooth is then restored with a tooth crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this, don’t risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dental services provider in Plymouth, CA that can offer additional treatment and accepts Medicaid.
