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 may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. 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 great Brooklyn dentists for further treatments.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then applied to the interior. Usually, 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 does not go as expected, 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 type of discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth.
