Root canal treatment generally has a high success rate (80-95 per cent). At Charlestown Dental Care, our dentists use the latest technology and gentle techniques to ensure you're comfortable throughout your procedure. A root canal eliminates the pain of a tooth infection, while also preserving your natural tooth structure.
Understanding Root Canals
However, there are some cases where a root canal can fail and may require retreatment.
Root canal failure can result from hidden cracks or complex cases with multiple canals. If your root canal fails, you may notice signs such as:
- Tooth pain or sensitivity
- Facial swelling
- Tooth discolouration
- A white blister or pimple on the gums
If you’re concerned about root canal failure, contact your Charlestown dentist right away for an examination. Many root canal failures can be successfully retreated.
