Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. 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 knowledgeable Utqiagvik dentists for a root canal redo.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA 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 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 pain when eating. If you experience this, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an urgent care center in Utqiagvik, AK that can offer additional treatment and accepts private patients.
