Do Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to find one of our Las Animas dentists for further treatments.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the health of the tooth could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience discomfort, do not risk missing teeth.
