Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our great Primrose endodontists 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 match the rest of the smile. But if the procedure is not successful, the prognosis of the condition could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk tooth loss.
