Do 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. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to see one of our Toxey dentists or 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, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an emergency dental services provider in Toxey, AL that can offer retreatment and accepts private patients.
If you don’t have dental insurance don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a membership plan to make care affordable. With a simple monthly rate, you can undergo necessary root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!
