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 require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our great Shandon endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a dental 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 health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dental services provider in Shandon, CA that can offer additional treatment and accepts United Healthcare.
