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 require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our Brooklyn dentists or endodontists for a root canal redo.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. 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 porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience discomfort, do not risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an emergency dental services provider in Brooklyn, NY that can offer retreatment and accepts new patients.
