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 require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. 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 treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our knowledgeable Spanish Fort dentists for a root canal redo.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. Usually, 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 is not successful, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth.
