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 might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to see one of our great Bloomington endodontists for further treatments.
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. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if there are complications with the procedure, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with a dental office in Bloomington, IN that can offer retreatment and accepts new patients.
If you don’t have an insurance plan don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a membership plan to make your treatment fit your budget. With a simple monthly rate, you can obtain a root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!
