Could Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to find one of our Queens dentists or endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
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 known as gutta percha is then added to the tooth. Usually, the tooth is then restored with a full restoration. 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 unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this, do not risk tooth loss.
