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 the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our great Red Cliff dentists or endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. 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 health of the tooth could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk tooth loss.
