Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Not seeking care means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. 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 requires additional care. You may need to see one of our Megargel dentists or endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if the procedure is not successful, the prognosis of the condition could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this, don’t risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with a dental office in Megargel, AL that can offer additional treatment and accepts new patients.
