Do Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our Gerber emergency 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, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. Often, the tooth is then capped with a dental 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 questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience discomfort, do not risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an endodontist in Gerber, CA that can offer retreatment and accepts patients who do not have dental insurance.
If you don’t have dental coverage don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a direct dental plan to make care affordable. With a monthly membership fee, you can receive a root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!
