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 may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to find one of our great Jansen dentists for further treatments.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as 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 blend with the smile. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the health of the tooth could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this, don’t risk missing teeth.
