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 might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. 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 appointment with one of our knowledgeable Hopland endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a porcelain crown. 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 questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this, do not risk the loss of your teeth.
