What if it happens again?

Root canal treatment is usually very successful, however if there should be a recurrence of infection, the treatment can be repeated.

What if I don’t have the treatment?
The alternative to RCT is the removal of the tooth. Once the pulp is destroyed, it can’t heal and it is not recommended to leave an infected tooth in the mouth.
Whilst some people would prefer an extraction, it is usually advisable to keep as many natural teeth as possible.

Will the tooth be safe after treatment?
Yes. however it is advisable to restore the tooth with a crown to provide extra strength and support to the tooth.
