Do Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Not seeking care means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. 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 treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our Childersburg dentists or endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then added to the tooth. Often, the tooth is then restored with a tooth crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the prognosis of the condition could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth.
