Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our great Westcreek endodontists for a root canal redo.
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 added to the tooth. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a porcelain 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 compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk missing teeth.
