Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might need to be extracted. 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 schedule an appointment with one of our Modjeska dentists or endodontists for further treatments.
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. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a tooth crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if the procedure is not successful, the health of the tooth could be compromised. 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.
