Do Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Not seeking care means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to see one of our Phoenix dentists or 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 known as gutta percha is then applied to the interior. Often, the tooth is then restored with a full restoration. 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 unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with an emergency dental services provider in Phoenix, AZ that can offer retreatment and accepts new patients.
If you don’t have dental coverage don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a membership plan to make dental care budget-friendly. With a monthly membership fee, you can receive a root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!
